🔄 Discord Migration — Atomizer-HQ
Migration from Slack to Discord for multi-agent deployment. COMPLETED 2026-02-14.
Why Discord?
- One bot per agent — each agent appears as its own Discord user with unique name, avatar, presence
- Better role/permission system — fine-grained channel access per bot
- Free — no per-seat pricing like Slack
- Richer interaction — threads, reactions, embeds, slash commands per bot
- Future potential — could invite external collaborators
Architecture Evolution
| Aspect | Slack Phase 0 | Bridge Attempt (abandoned) | Multi-Instance Cluster (current) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Single gateway, port 18790 | Single gateway + discord-bridge.js | 8 independent OpenClaw instances |
| Bot identity | Single bot, display name override | 8 tokens via bridge middleware | 8 native Discord bots |
| Discord features | N/A | No streaming, no threads, no reactions | Full native support |
| Fault isolation | All agents share one process | Bridge = single point of failure | Each agent independent |
| Ports | 18790 | 18790 | 18800–18828 (spaced by 4) |

cluster.sh) - All 8 agents running and responding on Discord
What Was Tried and Abandoned
Discord Bridge (discord-bridge.js) — 2026-02-14 AM
A Node.js middleware using discord.js that routed messages between Discord and a single OpenClaw gateway. Abandoned because:
- No streaming (waited for full LLM response)
- Polled session
.jsonlfiles on disk (fragile) - Single listener pattern (Manager bot failure = total outage)
- Lost Discord features (threads, reactions, attachments)
The bridge was replaced same day with the multi-instance cluster approach.
