Deploying Hydra Cloud

​

1. Sign-up

To get started, please sign up at https://www.hydra.so/. Check your email. Once approved, select “Sign Up” below listed in the purple link.

​

2. Create Project

After selecting create project, please enter a name, choose and plan, and modify hardware specs in the “scaling and storage” dropdown - then select the “Create Project” button at the bottom of the page.

Hosted Hydra databases are set to the “small” plan by default with 2 Performance CPU & 8GB RAM with 50GB on-disk storage. They can be vertically scaled to larger plan sizes at any time.

Hydra “XS” databases are 8 shared-CPU & 4GB RAM with 10GB of on-disk storage.

Once your Hydra is deployed it will be listed as “Running.” The credentials section will now display your new Postgres connection string. Select the “Connection Type” drop down menu to select additional connections options, such as .env, psql, drizzle, next.js, prisma, django, SQLalchemy, or a JDBC URL.
