Projects

Projects are the top-level organizational unit in Hydron. Every deployment, conversation, and infrastructure plan belongs to a project.

Creating a project

To create a new project:

Navigate to the Projects dashboard
Click New Project
Enter a project name
Select the project type

Project types

Choose the type that best matches your application:

Type	Best for
Web App	Full-stack web applications (frontend + backend)
Microservice	Individual API services or backend components
Static Site	HTML/CSS/JS sites, SPAs, documentation
Kubernetes	Container orchestration workloads
Data Analytics	Data processing and analysis pipelines
ML Inference	Machine learning model serving
Batch Worker	Background job processors and task queues
Data Storage	Databases and storage services

The project type helps the AI optimize its code analysis and infrastructure recommendations.

Projects dashboard

The Projects dashboard is your home screen after signing in. It provides several ways to browse and organize your projects.

View modes

Switch between two view modes:

Card view — Visual cards showing project name, type, and status
List view — Compact list with more projects visible at once

Sorting

Sort your projects by:

Last activity — Most recently active projects first (default)
Name — Alphabetical order
Creation date — Newest projects first

Searching

Use the search bar to filter projects by name. The search updates in real-time as you type.

Filtering

Filter projects by their environment status to quickly find projects in a specific state.

Favorites

Mark frequently accessed projects as favorites by clicking the star icon. Favorited projects appear in a dedicated section at the top of the dashboard and in the sidebar for quick access.

Project settings

Access project settings by clicking the gear icon or navigating to Settings within a project.

Available settings include:

General

Name — Rename your project
Description — Add a description for reference
Type — Change the project type

Services

View and manage all services linked to the project
Add new services or remove existing ones
Configure service-specific settings

AI Settings

Model — Choose the AI model for conversations
System prompt — Customize the AI's behavior for this project
Temperature — Adjust creativity vs. determinism

Linked servers

View which servers from your inventory are linked to this project
Link or unlink servers

Danger zone

Delete project — Permanently delete the project and all associated data

Managing projects from the sidebar

The left sidebar in the chat interface provides quick access to:

All your projects with favorites at the top
Recent chats within each project
Quick project switching without leaving the chat

You can rename or delete projects directly from the sidebar context menu.

Best practices

One project per application — Keep related services together in one project
Use descriptive names — "E-commerce API" is better than "Project 1"
Favorite active projects — Keep your current work easily accessible
Archive completed work — Delete projects you no longer need to keep the dashboard clean
