Scaling the Georgia Tech IMZ Display Platform

The platform needed to present humanitarian information clearly during Georgia Tech campus events while staying reliable under live audience traffic.

More than 10 country-specific views shared a common structure but needed distinct content. That made maintainability more important than adding one-off page implementations.

The first scaling challenge was duplicated frontend code across country pages. Repeated markup and styling made small updates slow and increased the risk of inconsistent event information.

A shared JavaScript rendering system centralized the page structure and reduced duplicated frontend code by 65%. This made each country view easier to update while preserving a consistent public-facing presentation.

Centralized styling and content management reduced site-wide update time to under five minutes. That mattered because event content can change quickly and needs a dependable update path.

The platform was deployed through GitHub Pages with GitHub Actions and CI/CD workflows. More than 60 production releases shipped through the release process.

The site supported events with more than 500 concurrent viewers and maintained 100% uptime during campus events. The simple static deployment model helped keep the public event surface reliable.

The project showed how maintainable frontend architecture depends on removing duplication early. Reusable rendering, centralized content, and predictable deployment made the site easier to operate during real events.
