hellomichibyeon Show HN: Marbot – Chatbot for AWS Monitoring Supports Slack and Microsoft Teams

Hi everyone!

I started working on marbot in 2016. Five years later I want to share my chatbot with you. As you can see, our marketing skills are not that well developed...

We started with Slack support and added Microsoft Teams support last year. Today, ~1,000 teams are using marbot to configure AWS monitoring, receive alerts, and solve incidents as a team.

I would be very happy to hear your thoughts. Maybe we have marbot users her as well?

PS: marbot itself is not open source. But all the required monitoring configuration (CloudFormation and Terraform) is and can be used without marbot: https://github.com/marbot-io
