Bolt

With Bolt, you can efficiently deploy dbt™ in production. Instead of manually running commands, take advantage of Paradime's built-in scheduling to configure and automate the entire scheduling workflow.

Key Benifits

With Bolt, you can:

• Maintain fresh production data on a consistent schedule

• Execute CI/CD and production pipelines efficiently

• Swiftly identify and resolve deployment issues

• Utilize native integrations and custom webhooks for enhanced deployment

Scheduling Methods

Bolt offers two distinct approaches for managing dbt™ schedules in production:

• UI-Based Schedules: Create and manage your dbt™ schedules through an intuitive user interface. All configurations available in YAML-based schedules are accessible here.

• YAML-Based Schedules: Define and update your dbt™ schedules in the paradime_schedules.yml file within your Git repository, ideal for version-controlled configurations.
