    🏗️ System Architecture

    The Workspace Management platform is built on a modular, event-driven architecture to manage SmartPods across various public venues. It blends real-time booking interfaces, IoT control, and serverless backend logic to ensure a seamless experience for both users and administrators.

    🔍 Overview#

    The system is divided into three key layers:
    1.
    Presentation Layer (UI Interfaces) – Admin portals, client booking site, meeting room displays
    2.
    Logic & Integration Layer (Backend) – AWS Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, Supabase
    3.
    Hardware Layer (IoT & Devices) – Raspberry Pi, relays, and electrical components inside each pod
    All layers communicate through secure REST APIs and push-based messaging (FCM), enabling smooth, asynchronous control across the system.

    🗂️ Key Architecture Modules#

    1. Frontend Interfaces#

    Booking Admin Portal: Manages global bookings, payments, and reports.
    Client Booking Portal: Allows users to search, reserve, and pay for SmartPods.
    Customer Admin Portal: Venue-level control over pod bookings and access control.
    Room Displays (Android): Touch interfaces outside and inside pods.
    Each frontend connects securely to AWS Lambda APIs and Supabase via HTTPS using JWT-based authentication.

    2. Backend (Serverless Core)#

    All business logic runs within AWS Lambda functions. These include:
    Booking validations and conflict resolution
    Command dispatch to Raspberry Pi via FCM
    Integration with Google Calendar
    Sending email notifications via AWS SES
    Scheduled operations like auto-cancellations and booking reminders are handled using AWS EventBridge.

    3. Database & Sync#

    Supabase is used for:
    User authentication
    Booking storage
    Session metadata
    Logs and analytics
    Real-time updates from Supabase power live booking status on displays and client portals.
    Google Calendar sync is bi-directional, managed by Lambda functions with token-based OAuth.

    4. IoT Control (Raspberry Pi + Hardware)#

    Each SmartPod includes a Raspberry Pi running Python/Django.
    The Pi receives control instructions (e.g., turn on fan/light) via FCM or Supabase poll.
    Pi sends electrical signals to relays connected to physical devices.
    Device health/status is reported back to Supabase and visualized in admin dashboards.

    🔁 Data & Command Flow#

    1.
    User books pod → Client Portal → Supabase
    2.
    Lambda receives trigger → Validates → Updates Supabase
    3.
    Command sent to Pi → via REST API
    4.
    Pi controls hardware → Updates booking status
    5.
    Displays update via Supabase
