// 01. Challenge & Vision

Vacation rental property managers struggle to convey WiFi details, checkout procedures, and local recommendations without unsightly paper binders. WelcomeSign delivers custom-branded digital signage through standard Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, and Android TV hardware, automatically synced with Airbnb and VRBO reservation calendars.

// 02. Cloud Architecture & Sync

The backend is hosted across multi-AZ Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS. When a booking confirmation arrives from a Property Management System (PMS), webhooks trigger real-time updates through AWS API Gateway WebSocket connections, instantly pushing customized guest greeting messages and checkout instructions to the target screen.

PMS Booking Webhook (Guest Check-in)
    → AWS EKS Microservice → DynamoDB Event Stream
    → AWS API Gateway WebSocket Dispatcher
    → Smart TV Client Application (PWA / Android TV)
        → Dynamic Welcome Screen with WiFi QR Code

    → Heartbeat & Offline Diagnostics Telemetry
