June Monthly Meta: Not Quite the Rainbow We Were Expecting
When looking at the API, the way we get all of the information we need, we have access to a fairly large amount of information. The Developer Platform, while it has its uses, is not designed with large and busy bots in mind. It's much better suited for entry-level 'learning to code' style bots that we see frequently pop up on the site. Issues from data usage limits, data storage limits (500kb! Our database in Blossom is over 1.4GB), connecting to services outside reddit (which we have gotten special permissions for, I'll give them that), and more plague the development experience at the time of this writing.

October Monthly Meta: Names and a bit of history!
Really, there was only one choice, and Blossom was brought to life. As the leader of the trio, it just made sense.

June Monthly Meta: Development from the other side
In software development, tooling refers to programs or scripts that only serve to maintain other programs or scripts. In our case, we write tooling for the QA and Engagment teams so that they can directly interact with the keeper of data, Blossom, or various spreadsheets that are used to keep track of different things (like the delightfully awesome Treasure Hunts in Discord).

October Monthly Meta: Names and a bit of history!
Mid-way through 2020, one of the devs noted that dealing with Discord was kind of a pain, but we didn't have a good customizable way to deal with some of the more complex processes we have. They immediately began work on a bot for this purpose, but this time we were prepared: it was a great time to bring Buttercup into the fold. After many months of prototyping and dealing with Discord shenanigans, Buttercup came online and has become a well-loved and often-seen presence on our Discord.
