Facility Services built an employee onboarding checklist

“The workshop was tomorrow.”— Anja, Facility Services

Reason:

Mainly because the customer asked for one tiny change. Built in 3 hours 54 minutes and demonstrated immediately afterwards.

Built by:

Anja, a product owner

Build time:

an afternoon, mostly

Built with:

Kubernetes, for one container

Database:

the old database because migration is scheduled for Q4

Authentication:

Elena is still an admin because removing access felt risky

Deployment:

deployed from a branch called final

Responsible:

Lukas, informally

Documentation:

two architecture diagrams that disagree

Security situation:

the tenant ID comes directly from the query string

Future disaster:

It will cause Procurement to ask "what vendor?".

Age: 5.5 years · originally expected to last 4 weeks · 2 owners so far · survived 3 reorganisations · last meaningful change 19 days ago

Rated common mostly because: 6 departments depend on it, 3 accidental connections, alive 67x longer than intended.
