Workflow

Local development

1. Install dependencies (npm i) and link Vercel project
2. Pull envs from Vercel ( npm run env) or set them in a .env file
3. Run the bot in polling mode ( npm start) or use the Vercel dev server

Vercel deployment

When you push a commit to a GitHub repository, Vercel runs build script and assigns a unique URL that will be set as the URL for incoming webhooks.

Lifecycle

Until you run the bot locally, your code will run on the Vercel side, where you can view runtime logs and usage.
