BUILDING A SCALABLE MULTI-PLATFORM CHATBOT WITH TELEGRAM, WEBSOCKET, AND REDIS PUB/SUB

This short communication describes the design and functional verification of a multi-platform chatbot architecture in Python. The architecture separates platform-independent message processing from platform adapters and uses Redis publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) as the communication layer. The prototype comprises a Core Bot, a Telegram adapter, a WebSocket adapter, and a Redis service deployed with Docker Compose. A shared message model and a callback-channel attribute enable the Core Bot to return a response through the same adapter that received the original user message. Functional tests using Telegram and WebSocket clients confirmed the expected routing of messages through the Core Bot and platform-specific Redis channels. The implementation provides a compact pattern for extending a chatbot to additional communication platforms while retaining a single message-processing component. The reported tests demonstrate functional routing only; they do not quantify throughput, latency, or fault tolerance.
