Prerequisites
- An Admin role in Paradime. Only Admins can manage connections.
- Credentials for your data warehouse. See the provider integration guide for exactly which fields your warehouse needs.
Steps
1
Open the environment
Go to Settings, then Environments, and choose the environment to add the connection to: Code IDE (development), Bolt (production), or Agent. Select Add new.
2
Select your provider
Choose your data warehouse (for example, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks). The credential fields update to match the provider.
3
Enter credentials and auth method
Fill in the connection details for your provider, including the authentication method (most warehouses offer more than one). For the exact fields and auth options, follow your provider integration guide.
4
Set the target and schema
Set the dbt™ profile name to match the
profile in your dbt_project.yml, choose a target name (for example, dev, prod, or ci), and set the schema the environment builds into.5
Add optional attributes (optional)
If your adapter needs extra
profiles.yml settings (timeouts, priority, retries), add them under optional connection attributes.6
Test and save
Select Test connection to verify Paradime can reach your warehouse, then save.
Test connection passes and the connection appears in the environment. The first connection added to an environment becomes its default; change it later with Set an alternative default connection.
