CEO Office built an audit evidence portal

“You need to know the exact link.”— Lukas, CEO Office

Reason:

Allegedly because the process owner is Sofia, who has never used the time tracking system. Presented in a town hall as "innovation".

Built by:

Lukas, a controller

Build time:

4 evenings

Built with:

Firebase, because nobody wanted to design a backend

Database:

Elasticsearch, now also storing the invoices

Authentication:

the audit log records "something changed"

Deployment:

running in Docker, but the Dockerfile is missing

Responsible:

whoever still has the admin password

Documentation:

a folder called Documentation containing another folder called Old

Security situation:

no security review, no plans for one

Future disaster:

It will silently skip 2% of records.

Age: 5.1 years · originally expected to last 7 days · 3 owners so far · survived 2 reorganisations · last meaningful change 823 days ago

Rated legendary mostly because: 5 accidental connections, alive 265x longer than intended, it is load bearing.
