Slack Basics

What is Slack?


                       Slack is a workplace communication tool, “a single place for messaging, tools and files.” This means Slack is an instant messaging system with lots of add-ins for other workplace tools.

                    The add-ins aren’t necessary to use Slack, though, because the main functionality is all about talking to other people.

There are two methods of chat in Slack:
  • channels (group chat),
  • direct message or DM (person-to-person chat).

The Genesis of a Python Problem πŸ’‘ In our project, we had a unique requirement: efficiently manage feature flags. Our solution involved moving one of our API endpoints to an AWS Lambda Function. My task? Replicate the existing API response using Python and, of course, use the same environment variables. Sounds straightforward, right? Initially, it felt like smooth sailing.
