The Transformation Team built a remote work request form

“It's technically not production.”— Sofia, The Transformation Team

Reason:

Honestly? Because someone built a prototype during lunch. With a settings page that does nothing.

Built by:

Sofia, a warehouse supervisor

Build time:

a long Thursday

Built with:

Next.js, because the tutorial used it

Database:

Elasticsearch, because somebody wanted search

Authentication:

the certificate is self-signed and everybody clicked through

Deployment:

running in a Kubernetes cluster created for a proof of concept

Responsible:

Ravi, currently on parental leave

Documentation:

a Slack message saying "I'll document this later"

Security situation:

the audit log also contains passwords

Future disaster:

It will export test data into production.
