Dremio

Integrate Dremo with Paradime to enable dbt™ development

Dremio is a lakehouse platform that enables high-performance SQL queries directly on data lake storage. Paradime supports connections to both Dremio Cloud and Dremio Software. As a development environment in Paradime, Dremio enables dbt™️ development from Paradime's Code IDE.

IP RESTRICTIONS

Make sure to allow traffic from one of the Paradime IPs in your firewall depending on the data location selected.

After adding the configuration, ensure it's properly formatted using a YAML formatter like YAML Formatter.

1. Provide a dbt™ Profile Name (This should match with the profile name set in your dbt_project.yml).

2. In the Target field, enter "dev". This is the default target your dbt project will use for development work.

3. The "Threads" value is pre-configured to 1, but you can adjust this number to specify how many parallel operations your dbt project can run.
