Google Calendar Integration

Problem Statement

We want to add integrations between our website and Google Calendar.

Goal

We want to learn how to use a library or API to handle Google Calendar events.

Hypothesis

I expect there is a library or API we can use to integrate with google calendar. I expect we will be able to use this with nextauth.

Are we editing events on the website or just reading? Google calendar is easy for read access, requires oAuth, or a service account for the google calendar api to write to it

Double check the vision document for the MVP requirements. The SSEs google account with our calendar has what we need, but we need to think about best practices for secrets management when using that.
