System design for meeting scheduling application

System Design

You have been hired to be a senior full-stack engineer in a small team for TheCompany. The Company’s objective is to manage multiple companies to facilitate cross-collaboration between them. Currently, four different companies have signed-up for their business and The Company has been able to conduct smaller collaborations. Each company has over 1,000 employees. This collaboration is a tedious task.

So, The Company is in need of a Meeting Scheduling Application to make its operation effective while expanding its business. The Company now wants to onboard five new companies within the next year, making a total of over 10,000 users using this application concurrently. Hence it needs a robust, modern application to manage all these application requests.

Your task is to design a system that allows users to schedule meetings with one or multiple participants from within the company or different companies. The application should recommend a time and location to users who want to set up a meeting. The system should support notifications and reminders to ensure that all participants are aware of the scheduled meetings.

TheCompany takes data security very seriously. Every task they do is fully HIPPA compliant. TheCompany is required to protect the privacy and security of the client’s data and is not allowed to access the information of other clients.
