Working on Kviklet: http://github.com/kviklet/kviklet

My first job was in a FinTech and the way production access was managed scared me. This is my approach at streamlining the process. Basically a PR review flow for SQL queries, enforcing the 4-eyes principle so you never accidentally can do a Delete * form users, forgetting the where clause.

This is a very cool idea! I don’t work in a team big enough for this anymore but I would have loved this in previous roles!

Thank you! This was initially a startup idea but it was very hard to sell a cyber security solution with a very bare bones product to companies large enough to have this problem. Because the required features of such large orgs are just too much for such an early stage team.

So I'm now doing it a bit as a side project but I hope to at some point also offer a paid version to fund development long term.
