Serverless architecture offers a great way to build and deploy applications without managing servers. In this post, we’ll walk through the process of creating a Telegram bot using AWS Lambda for serverless execution, Terraform for infrastructure as code, and Python for the bot’s logic. We’ll also use a Lambda Layer to manage our dependencies efficiently.

Project Structure

Let’s start with our project structure:

Initial Project Structure

├── terraform/
│   ├── main.tf
│   └── variables.tf
├── src/
│   └── bot.py
├── requirements.txt
├── build_layer.sh
└── README.md

Project Structure After Building

After running our build scripts, the structure will look like this:
