Built by:

Daniel, an intern

Build time:

5 hours 47 minutes

Built with:

Next.js, because the tutorial used it

Database:

a Map().

Authentication:

MFA is optional, so naturally nobody uses it

Deployment:

deployed through a GitHub Action that only Bastian understands

Responsible:

an agency acquired by another agency

Documentation:

one README with 9 TODOs

Security situation:

the admin account is also the service account

Future disaster:

It will get rewritten, producing exactly the same system.

Age: 3.8 years · originally expected to last 2 months · 2 owners so far · survived 2 reorganisations · last meaningful change 74 days ago · original builder left 306 days ago

Rated common mostly because: 108 users, 4 departments depend on it, nobody owns it.
