What Paradime is, for you
Your team gets one platform for the whole dbt™ lifecycle: developing models (Code IDE), AI-assisted engineering (DinoAI), production orchestration (Bolt), and observability (Radar, Catalog, Lineage). Your job is to stand up the workspace they’ll do it in. As Admin, you’ll mostly live in Settings. The other apps are all available to you, but these are the surfaces you own:Concepts you should know
- One workspace = one dbt™ project + its connections + its team. Larger orgs run several workspaces and connect them with data mesh. See how Paradime works.
- Environments keep dev and prod apart. The Code IDE builds into a development schema; Bolt runs production with separate credentials. Radar uses a read-only cost connection. You’ll configure each once. See environments and connections.
- Three roles, one decision per invite. Admins configure, Developers build, Business users get read-only access to Catalog, Lineage, Radar, and Bolt logs. Most teammates are Developers; stakeholders are Business. See roles and permissions.
- Everything rides on git. Paradime never bypasses your review process: developers work on branches and ship through pull requests in your existing repo.
Your setup path
1
Create a workspace
Create a workspace
Name it after the dbt™ project it will hold.
2
Connect your data warehouse
You’ll need credentials for a development and a production target. Consider a dedicated service account for scheduled runs.
Set up data warehouse connections
Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and more.
3
Connect your git repository
Manage workspace configurations
Git, dbt™ version, and environment settings.
4
Invite your team
Manage users in the workspace
Invite users and assign Admin, Developer, or Business roles.
When these four steps are done, a Developer can open the Code IDE and run their first model. Point them to the Developer quickstart.
