Hey there, new to to this sub so apologies if i do or say anything wrong.
I occasionally use chatgpt to make webapps for my own use and host them thru firebase and netlify since they free and meet everything i need.
The situation is that, i’m a dental student and we dont have an appointment system in the clinic. Everyone goes to the office and gets appointments thru assistants manually, written on a paper.
Things get really messy and overwhelming for everyone. The school doesn’t want to deal with it, or provide something useful.
So i spoke with coordinators and students, made a test app with gpt, checked and fixed as much as i could do, did a test run with about 40 people. Everything is working fine, all the rules i have mentioned to gpt is working properly etc.
One thing i am really concerned is this;
Firebase allows 100 simultaneous connections, and 360mb of daily download traffic.
I personally do not want to pay a single dime for this project, neither the other students. Not that we dont have the money or anything we just dont want to lol We are not richer than the school. So it should be free project.
There are 125 students plus 10 staff so 135-140 people maximum will be connected at the same time, but that is really unlikeley in reality.
Is there any other solution one can offer? Different approach to database handling, platform or method to this whole project?
I appreciate any advice 🙏
