MeetEZ is a cloud-hosted event coordination platform designed to streamline the process of organizing, managing, and attending events. Built with Python Flask, Dash, and PostgreSQL, it offers dynamic interfaces for event creation, user subscriptions, and real-time notifications. The application is deployed on Azure with continuous integration and secure secret management through Azure Key Vault.
The application is hosted on Azure App Service, with automated deployment managed through GitHub Actions.

MeetEZ applies several design principles and patterns for maintainability and scalability:

- Observer Pattern: Manages email notifications to users on event changes
- Singleton Pattern: Controls core service instances (e.g., database connector)
- Architectural documentation follows the 4+1 View Model approach
