Welcome to Hydra Deploy

Hydra Deploy is a platform-agnostic deployment automation system that helps you manage and orchestrate software deployments across all your projects, environments, and deployment platforms.

Why Hydra Deploy?

In today’s complex software landscape, a single project often comprises numerous independent components. Think of microservices, databases, message brokers, and other tools. Furthermore, best practices dictate the use of multiple environments (development, staging, production) for thorough testing at various stages. This complexity is compounded by a multitude of deployment platforms available, including Docker, Kubernetes, IIS, AWS, Azure, and more. Each platform has its own unique deployment methods, making it challenging to maintain consistency and manage deployments across different environments and technologies. This can quickly lead to a loss of overview: Which version of which application is running where, and how was it deployed? This is especially challenging when working on multiple projects concurrently.

Hydra Deploy restores order and clarity to your deployment process.

Key Features & Benefits

Centralized Deployment Management

Bring all your deployments under one roof, eliminating the confusion of scattered deployment processes.

Project Organization

Create dedicated projects within Hydra Deploy to represent the applications you’re working on, keeping related deployments logically grouped.

Application Connectivity

Easily connect your applications to your projects, regardless of whether they’re internal microservices or external dependencies.

Environment Definition

Define the necessary environments (development, staging, production, etc.) for each project, ensuring consistent deployment targets.

Simplified Deployments

Streamline the deployment process. With Hydra Deploy, you define how to deploy once, and then anyone can deploy with a single click.

Platform Agnostic

Deploy to any platform by running our agent on the target server. The agent executes the deployment script you define for that specific environment.

Improved Visibility

Gain a clear overview of which versions of your applications are running in each environment, facilitating quick identification of issues and rollbacks.

Multi-Project Support

Manage deployments for multiple projects simultaneously, without losing track of individual application versions and environments.
