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.

I'm loving this. This could be generalised to other manual actions as well, e.g. stuff like the K8S API.

Yes, I already thought about this. In theory all "production access", be it ssh, k8s commands, database access of any kind or even a ruby shell could go through such a a flow. It's a bit of a pain to integrate well with everything though, but I have a lot of plans, will just take some time to mature :D
