YASB (Yet Another Slack Bot) that helps you keep track of who owns what.

I had an itch and I scratched it, there was this situation where I needed to check outdated docs and ask people on slack to get the owner of a service so at the end I decided to write somethings small with a dynamodb backend to help me keep track of teams and microservices and who owns what

Since I truly believe that the best UI is no UI (and things should work on their own but thats another topic) I went with a chat interface

This bot supports these cool things:
!teams                                           
!teams add <team> <lead>                    
!teams del <team>                           
!teams add_member <team> <member>         
!teams del_member <team> <member>         
!teams add_room <team> <slack_room>     
!teams del_room <team> <slack_room>     
!teams update_po <team> <member>      
!teams show <team>                      

!services                               
!services show <service>                
!services add <service> <service_owner> 
!services del <service>                 
!services update_repo <service> <repo_url>  
!services update_link <service> <svc_link>  

Running the stuff

You can either build the container and run it from there, use virtualenv in python or run it from your own machine Make sure you have these envrionement variables AWS_PROFILE, SLACK_API_KEY, AUTHORIZED_SLACK_CHANNELS, AUTHORIZED_USERS

Local development:

run

docker run -p 8000:8000 amazon/dynamodb-local

and set the endpoint to localhost:8000 with an aws_key/secret to something random and initalize the tables with python3 table_init.py
