Hydra Landscape

The Hydra Landscape is a curated directory of applications, frameworks, tools, plugins, and learning resources that use Hydra in a visible and meaningful way. Listings are informational and do not imply official endorsement.

Suggest a project

Open an issue or pull request with a neutral description, a project link, and a short note showing where Hydra usage is visible.

A project may be listed when:

  • It has a publicly accessible repository or project page.
  • It uses, extends, integrates with, or teaches Hydra in a clear way.
  • Hydra usage is visible in documentation, examples, configuration, or code.
  • It is at least minimally maintained, or remains useful as an archival example.
  • Its listing can be described neutrally and factually.

Featured projects are selected separately by Hydra's maintainers. They must be actively maintained, well documented, technically strong, and ready for the current Hydra release.

How projects are categorized

Good Hydra usage highlights projects that make thoughtful use of Hydra's configuration model and provide a strong experience for their users.

Powered by Hydra includes projects with meaningful Hydra usage without implying that their configuration architecture is an example to follow.

Projects may also extend, integrate with, or teach Hydra. Tags describe relevant topics and technologies; they are not intended to form a rigid domain hierarchy.
