Paradime organizes warehouse connections by environment: Code IDE (development), Bolt (the production scheduler), and Agent (the DinoAI background agent). You choose which environments to set up when you create a workspace, and you can add or change a connection for any environment at any time. This guide covers adding a Bolt scheduler connection and a Turbo CI connection, then targeting a specific connection from the CLI. To change the default connection or remove one, see Manage connections.
Prerequisites
  • An Admin role in Paradime.
  • Warehouse credentials for your production and CI targets.
Estimated time: 10 minutes.

Steps

1

Add a Bolt scheduler connection

This connection is the default target for Bolt schedules running dbt™ in production.
  1. Open Settings, then Environments.
  2. In the Bolt environment, select Add new.
  3. Select your warehouse provider (for example, Snowflake).
  4. Enter the connection details, then select Test connection to verify.

Add a Turbo CI connection

This connection runs dbt™ with Turbo CI to build and test models when a pull request is opened.
  1. In the Turbo CI section, select Add new and choose your provider.
  2. Enter the connection details:
    • Set the dbt™ profile name to match the profile in your dbt_project.yml.
    • Set the target to ci.
    • Enter your warehouse credentials.
    • Set the schema to dbt_ci (or your preferred CI schema).
  3. Select Test connection to verify.
You now have a prod target for production jobs and a ci target for Turbo CI. Both should pass Test connection before you rely on them.

​
Target a specific connection from the CLI

By default, a dbt™ command uses the default connection for your current environment (the Code IDE uses its default, Bolt uses its default):
To use a specific target, add --target:
This runs against the ci connection regardless of the default.
