Hydra is a tool for continuous integration testing and software release that uses a purely functional language to describe build jobs and their dependencies. Continuous integration is a simple technique to improve the quality of the software development process. An automated system continuously or periodically checks out the source code of a project, builds it, runs tests, and produces reports for the developers. Thus, various errors that might accidentally be committed into the code base are automatically caught. | Hydra is a tool for continuous integration testing and software release that uses a purely functional language to describe build jobs and their dependencies.

The module will automatically enable postgresql if you do not change the <code>services.hydra.dbi</code> option. Database layout will be created automatically by the Hydra service, however keep in mind that some state will be stored in the database and a complete stateless configuration is currently not possible - do your backups. | The module will automatically enable [[PostgreSQL|postgresql]] if you do not change the <code>services.hydra.dbi</code> option.
