An application to help students find working printers on the NYU campus. This project started out as a way to monitor printers at Bobst Library for student staff. Since then, it has since grown into a full-fledged project with the goal of monitoring printers across NYU.
The app is designed to be run as containers on docker or pods on kubernetes. It consists of 4 microservices: sourced, statusd, updated, and store.
Each microservice is responsible for various tasks as shown below:
- Printer Monitoring with real-time status updates
- Multiple Locations including private mode
- Admin dashboard
- Multi-user accounts with different access levels
- Private and Public API
- Smart feedback loop for optimized monitoring (in progress)
- Reports and analytics (in progress)
- Email notifications (in progress)
