About

Welcome to Project Lambda, a Zoom web-app app where users can create, join, edit and delete Zoom meetings for their organization!

Multiple views provide different ways to visualize meeting schedules and search for time ranges and/or colleagues. Users can also manage groups of frequently contacted colleagues, as well as start instant meetings with group members in one-click.

Check out the deployed project here. This works best on Chrome, and is not supported on mobile devices. Please note this deployment will no longer be hosted by January 2023.

The back-end is serverless, built using API Gateway and Lambda. All data is hosted in a micro RDS instance.

Screenshots & example videos to come.
