Hydra Architecture

Hydra primarily works with local Windows executables and components to handle the heavy lifting for code generation. Those components are installed through the installer as described in the topic "Installation". The entry point executable is ApplicationGenerator.exe. Communication between Hydra CLI and ApplicationGenerator is through Standard Input Output. Communication protocol is JSON. ApplicationGenerator also has a WebAPI layer for status communication. This layer allows status to be queried during long running processes.

ApplicationGenerator WebAPI layer

As mentioned before, the WebAPI layer allows status to be queried during long running processes. This is done in asychronously. This may require Firewall configuration on the local machine to allow for local TCP traffic on port 8043.

You can see this configuration in the ApplicationGenerator.exe.config, located in C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudIDEaaS\Hydra

Hydra does not currently support changes to the port number.
