Cloud Computing Project - University Feedback & Parking System

Subject: Cloud Computing

This project was developed as part of our Cloud Computing coursework. The aim was to design and deploy microservices for two university-centric domains:

• Feedback Management System
• Parking Management System

---

Technologies Used

Tool	Purpose
Python	Backend service logic
Flask	API creation and routing
Docker	Containerization of services
MySQL	Database management

All services are containerized using Docker and interact with each other as independent microservices.
