Adapters
Explore the different runtimes supported by Carbon, including serverless options like Cloudflare Workers and traditional server environments like Node.js and Bun.
Carbon is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different server environments. Whether you prefer a serverless runtime like Cloudflare Workers, a traditional server environment like Node.js, or a lightweight alternative like Bun, Carbon functions the same across all runtimes. This means you can choose the runtime that best fits your needs without worrying about compatibility. Below, we compare serverless and traditional server environments to help you make an informed decision:
-
Serverless: Serverless runtimes are a great choice if you want a bot that can scale automatically and handle a large number of interactions with low latency. Keep in mind that serverless runtimes may have limitations on execution time and memory usage, so make sure to choose a runtime that fits your bot's requirements.
-
Server: Traditional server environments are a great choice if you want full control over your server environment and the ability to deploy your bot on any server. Keep in mind that you will need to manage your server environment, including scaling, monitoring, and maintenance.
