How Paradime works

Paradime is a single platform where your team develops, ships, and observes data pipelines built on dbt™. This page gives you the mental model: what a workspace is, which apps live inside it, and who can do what.

​

The workspace

Everything in Paradime happens inside a workspace. A workspace bundles:

• One dbt™ project, connected through your git repository.
• Your data warehouse connections, split into development and production environments.
• Your team, each person with a role that gates what they can see and do.

Most teams run one workspace per dbt™ project. Larger organizations run several and connect them with data mesh.

​

The apps

Inside a workspace, you move between apps from the navigation bar. Each app has a job: You don’t need all of them on day one. Developers live in the Editor and Bolt; data consumers mostly use Catalog, Lineage, and Radar; admins configure everything from Settings.

​

The roles

Access is controlled by three roles:

• Admin: full control, including workspace settings, connections, billing, and user management.
• Developer: full development access to the Editor, Bolt, and the AI tools, but not workspace administration.
• Business: read-only access to production lineage, Catalog, Bolt logs, and Radar metrics.

See roles and permissions for the full matrix.
