What is StickyBot?

StickyBot was a WhatsApp bot that allowed users to create custom stickers from images, GIFs, or even videos. The bot stood out for its ease of use, as well as its scalable and robust infrastructure.

StickyBot's Architecture

The bot ran in the cloud, composed of several microservices that communicated with each other thanks to the Kubernetes architecture. This allowed the service to scale horizontally depending on demand, without the need to stop the service.

Statistics

StickyBot was a highly successful project while it lasted, with an exponential increase in active users, reaching 50,000 in a matter of days, and over 600,000 stickers created. Due to WhatsApp and Meta's restrictions, the project had to be shut down.
