Edit: so im done with my preliminary research into this codebase.

Our corporate SSO provider is changing, so I’ve been updating our tools to take advantage of the new badges. I found this in a web application that I started on today. The original developer is long gone, and according to our PaaS, this app has been running for just under 3 years without an update.

There is no CI/CD, blue-green deployment, or back ups. The database is an H2 db with ddl-auto set to create-drop on startup, meaning that this database will delete itself if the app is restaged but thanks to this guys code, it won’t populate itself. 🤷

    Recovering a database from a backup is often possible but often a pain in the ass, and depending on the application you may not consider it acceptable to lose a day of data

        Yeah, of course you want restoring from backups to be as easy as possible. It’s just sometimes not feasible, usually because someone can’t afford the time or equipment to set it up.
