2025 was the year Paradime became the AI-native analytics engineering platform we always knew it could be.

We didn't just ship features. We shipped an entire vision: AI that actually understands your data stack, orchestration that just works, and a developer experience that makes you forget you're even using a tool.

So grab your favorite beverage (we recommend coffee ☕), and let's walk through everything that made 2025 absolutely unforgettable.

🦖 DinoAI Became Your New Best Friend

Remember when we called DinoAI "Cursor for Data"? Yeah, we weren't kidding. This year, DinoAI evolved from a helpful assistant to an indispensable teammate.

🦖 7,000 DinoAI conversations

🤖 15,000 Commit messages generated

⏱️ 3,880 Hours saved by DinoAI

That's 3,880 hours our users didn't spend writing boilerplate, debugging syntax errors, or staring at documentation. That's nearly half a year of productivity unlocked by AI. Let that sink in.

The Highlights

DinoAI v2.0 Launch
Cursor for Data with deep dbt™ ecosystem integration, warehouse awareness, and end-to-end transformation pipelines. This wasn't an incremental update—it was a complete reimagining.

Speech-to-Text Input
Because sometimes typing "create a staging model for Salesforce opportunities" is just too much work. Now you can literally just say it.

Credit Saver Mode
Automatic optimization for longer conversation threads to manage costs. Your AI budget thanks us.

.dinoprompts & .dinorules
Our users' AI became their team's AI. Customizable one-click prompt library and global rules for a tailored AI experience. Git-tracked, team-collaborative, and powerful.

Lightning-Quick SQL Context
Instant loading even for massive databases. No more waiting for context to load.

Terminal-to-Chat Integration
Send terminal context directly to DinoAI without copy/paste. See an error? Send it straight to Dino with one click.

AI Column-Level Lineage
Trace data lineage at the column level with AI-powered insights. Understand exactly where each column comes from and where it goes.

Bolt Configuration Understanding
DinoAI natively understands your schedule-as-code setup. Ask it to help configure jobs, and it just gets it.

Linear & Jira Integrations
Fetch issue details, status, and metadata directly into your AI conversations. Project management context when you need it.

Mermaid Diagram Rendering
Visualize workflows, schemas, and architectures directly in chat. DinoAI can now show, not just tell.

Fun fact: DinoAI helped debug 778 hours of dbt™ logs this year. That's over a month of someone's life not spent scrolling through stack traces. You're welcome. 💜

⚡ You Ran Things. A LOT of Things.

The numbers here are genuinely wild. Our users didn't just use Paradime—they lived in it.

🏎️ 5+ million Data pipeline runs executed

🕰️ 40+ million Minutes of execution time

▶️ 25,076 Manual runs triggered

🕹️ 211,163 dbt™ commands in terminal

And get this: 624,493 Git commands were run this year. That's a lot of commits, pushes, and "wait, which branch am I on again?" moments.

🚀 We Shipped Like Our Lives Depended On It

Our team absolutely crushed it this year. 55 releases and 5,096 commits later, we built some genuinely game-changing features. Huge props to our engineering, product, and design teams who shipped fast, shipped often, and never compromised on quality.

📦 55 Product releases

🎁 180+ New features shipped

📟 5,096 Git commits

⚙️ Bolt Got Seriously Powerful

📊 Catalog v3.0: The Native dbt™ Experience

In September, we completely rebuilt our Catalog from the ground up. The result? A documentation and lineage experience that finally feels like it was built by people who actually use dbt™.

Complete dbt™ Asset Coverage
Macros, Seeds, Tests, Analyses, Models, Snapshots, Exposures, Sources. If it's in your dbt™ project, it's in Catalog.

Supercharged Lineage Visibility
See which models use specific macros and tests. Trace dependencies through your entire project with dependency chains, all the way to Looker, Tableau, Sigma, Power BI.

Real-Time Execution Status
Last run status, execution time, quick links to Radar/Bolt. Know exactly what's running and what just finished.

💻 Code IDE That Doesn't Suck

Custom dbt™ LSP
Language Server Protocol for faster, smarter code intelligence. IntelliSense that actually understands dbt™.

IntelliSense Autocomplete
Model names, source names, macro names, test names. Stop typing halfway through and let the IDE finish for you.

Instant Validation
File names, source names, macro names validated as you type. Catch errors before you even save.

🔗 Integration Station

We connected to everything. Seriously, if you use it in your modern data stack, we probably integrated with it this year:

BI Tools
Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Sigma, Thoughtspot, Hex, Lightdash. Refresh dashboards automatically when data updates. Tableau got a major upgrade with data source and workbooks refreshes directly from Bolt.

Data Movement
Fivetran and Airbyte orchestration. Your entire pipeline, one platform.

Incident Management
New Relic, Incident.io, Datadog, PagerDuty. Because knowing when things break is kind of important.

Observability
Monte Carlo integration for seamless data observability.

🦖 That's a Wrap (But We're Just Getting Started)

2025 was the year Paradime grew up. We shipped AI that actually works, orchestration you can trust, and a developer experience that doesn't make you want to throw your laptop out the window.

But 2026? That's when things get really interesting.

More AI superpowers. Deeper integrations. Even faster shipping. And probably a few surprises we can't talk about yet.

Thank you for building with us. Here's to another year of shipping it. 💜
