+ # Introduction
+
+ ## What is nova ?
+
+ Nova is a complete framework for building reliable and stable discord bots
+ using a services based system to operate all the components needed to operate
+ a discord such as the discord gateway, new discord webhooks for receiving interactions.
+ Using a traditional infrastructure (sharder / process), we can quickly reach bottlenecks
+ when we scale to multiple thousands of shards. Nova is a way to avoid these problems by
+ building a scale-first discord framework that creates an environment that allow
+ better testing, reliability and operations easier.
+
+ ### Advantages
+
+ With the help of Nova, you can achieve a number of things, such as
+
+ * Scaling of workers independent of the number of shards
+ * zero-login updates
+ * Automatic shards scaling
+ * Shared cache for the whole bot (without broadcastEval and other unsafe methods)
+ * Stateless workers, easier to test
+ * Distributed rest rate-limiting
+ * Easier fine-tuned monitoring using cloud-native technologies
+ * Languages agnostic apis
+
+ ### How did we solve this ?
+
+ Nova separates the gateway into multiple smaller components corresponding to each
+ discord apis
