Datadog CoTerm: Never run the wrong terminal command again

Reilly Wood from Datadog has announced the Preview of CoTerm, a solution designed to provide error-proof, team-powered command-line workflows. This tool offers real-time checks on sensitive commands in terminals, enabling teams to avoid missteps that can have major ramifications. CoTerm can quickly check for common errors in commands and prevent mistakes like running a risky operation without proper context. It also allows for lightweight approval workflows for sensitive operations, requiring a second pair of eyes before execution. Additionally, CoTerm records terminal output, which is browsable and replayable in Datadog, allowing teams to search through recordings to answer questions or share knowledge with coworkers. The tool works by shimming commands using the PATH environment variable, creating lightweight scripts and adjusting shell configurations as needed.
