Built by:

Jens, a key account manager

Build time:

4 evenings

Built with:

Zapier being used as middleware

Database:

a NAS called prod-backup purchased from Amazon

Authentication:

no login. It is on the intranet, so it is fine.

Deployment:

running with 80% memory usage and "seems fine"

Responsible:

Sofia, who only knows the database

Documentation:

a file called how-it-works-v2-final-final.docx

Security situation:

the admin page is protected by not linking to it

Future disaster:

It will fail exactly when Olivier is on holiday.

Age: 24 days · originally expected to last 14 days · 1 owner so far · last meaningful change 24 days ago

Rated legendary mostly because: 5 accidental connections, 3 departments depend on it, it is load bearing.
