The Process Excellence Team built an incident log nobody logs incidents in

“We'll tell IT once it works.”— Tobias, The Process Excellence Team

Reason:

Allegedly because the Miro board is now the documentation. With a logo generated at 17:47.

Built by:

Tobias, an analyst

Build time:

5 hours 36 minutes

Built with:

a REST API generated by something nobody can regenerate

Database:

Elasticsearch, because somebody wanted search

Authentication:

Katrin thinks Kevin knows the password

Deployment:

running in Docker Compose on a machine named production

Responsible:

Kevin, because everyone else refused

Documentation:

a Miro board that takes 8 minutes to load

Security situation:

production secrets are in the README

Future disaster:

It will eventually need a migration project larger than the app itself.
