Field Service built a data export tool that exports everything

“It's more of a prototype.”— Bastian, Field Service

Reason:

Officially because the printer is somehow involved. With 2 tests, all skipped.

Built by:

Bastian, an analyst

Build time:

7 evenings

Built with:

Next.js, because the tutorial used it

Database:

an S3 bucket called test with public access "temporarily" enabled

Authentication:

the MFA code is always 000000 in the test environment

Deployment:

deployed 41 minutes before the builder went on holiday

Responsible:

nobody. It has no owner.

Documentation:

a PDF exported from PowerPoint

Security situation:

the audit log records "updated successfully"

Future disaster:

It will be used for payroll by accident.

Age: 18 days · originally expected to last 3 weeks · 1 owner so far · survived 1 reorganisation · last meaningful change 18 days ago · original builder left 60 days ago

Rated common mostly because: nobody owns it, the builder has left, 15% chance of becoming business critical.
