What is this repo?

This repository is a place to experiment and document experimentation so I can

• Remember what I've done
• Trial experiments in more than a hello world app
• Show other people so I have some context when talking about application architecture

What does it do?

Nothing actually useful. But it does demonstrate how I'd build an application that has these characteristics:

• Its user-access agnostic (it's not just a web app)
• It's got X-Factor scale (yes, the TV show)
• It always knows what happened
• It's cheap and fast to experiment with
• It can deploy to production in under 1 hour from code commit
• It expects to change
• It's resistant to failure
• It knows where its vulnerabilities are
• It's usable by anyone, regardless of physical ability or language

You can read more about each of these

You had me at 'Nothing actually useful', where do I read more?
