Hydro is a high-performance, self-hostable online judge platform for competitive programming and informatics education, built in TypeScript on Node.js with MongoDB. It features a modular plugin system, multi-domain workspaces, fine-grained permissions, support for many contest formats and problem types, and built-in VJudge-style problem importing from other OJ platforms.

Use cases

  • host a competitive programming online judge for a school or university
  • run ACM/ICPC, OI, or IOI style contests with automatic code judging
  • set up homework and practice problem sets for programming classes
  • import problems from Codeforces, Luogu, or HUSTOJ into a private judge
  • self-host a scalable judge that runs on a Raspberry Pi or ARM server
  • manage multiple classes or institutions in one judge instance with isolated domains

When to choose

  • you need a full-featured, actively maintained online judge with contest, homework, and rich problem-type support
  • you want horizontal scalability with stateless nodes and auto-balanced judging queues
  • you need extensible functionality via a plugin system and smooth upgrades
  • you want one-click install on Linux including ARM devices

When to avoid

  • you only need a tiny single-user code runner or sandbox without a web platform
  • your infrastructure is Windows-only, since Hydro targets Linux
  • you require a judge in a language other than the supported C++/Java/Python set without extra setup
  • you cannot run MongoDB or prefer a fully managed SaaS without self-hosting
