Console tour

View as Markdown

The Hyjal Console at console.hyjal.cloud is where you see and operate everything you deploy. This page walks the surfaces you use every day so the names in the rest of the docs are already familiar. Everything here is also reachable from the hyjal CLI; the Console is the visual counterpart.

Organizations and Projects

The Console opens on your Organizations list. An Organization is the top-level account container: it holds members, roles, and billing. Selecting an Organization shows its Projects.

A Project groups related Resources and is the unit of collaboration and scoping. The example throughout these docs is the acme Project, containing a web front end and a Go api.

Inside a Project

Open a Project and you land on its workspace. Three surfaces anchor it: the Board, the Explorer, and the Resource workspace with its bottom tabs.

The Board

The Board is the visual canvas for the Project. Each node is a Resource; each edge is a relationship between Resources: a path mount, an allowlist grant, or a data connection. Drawing an edge from a front end to an API configures a path mount between them, the same forwarding you would otherwise write as mounts in hyjal.toml.

The Board shows a Project at a glance: what is public, what calls what, and the path a request takes.

The Explorer

The Explorer is the list-and-tree view of the same Project: Resources and their Bucket directories in a navigable panel. Use the Explorer when you want to move through files and Resources by name rather than by topology. Selecting a file opens it; the same Bucket contents are reachable from the hyjal files command.

The Resource workspace

Select a Resource and its workspace opens with a bottom tab bar. Each tab is one facet of the Resource:

TabWhat it shows
LogsOne chronological table of requests and log lines, with a search box and HTTP method filter chips. See Logs
StatsRequest counts, compute milliseconds, and peak memory, the same meters as billing. See Stats and metering
ConfigPolicy for the Resource: public, allowlist, env, runLimitSecs, egress, and Domains
TablesLive, editable grids for Hyjal Tables scoped to the Project
ActivityThe history of deploys, rollbacks, and policy changes for the Resource

The Inspector

The Inspector panel shows a Resource’s identity: the facts that name and address it, not its behavior:

  • Name and endpoint URL
  • Status (serving, or the current deploy state)
  • Digest of the live artifact (sha256:…)
  • Tags
  • Relations to other Resources

When you need to know which exact artifact is live or which Resources call a given Resource, the Inspector is the source of truth.

The Overview page

Each Project has an Overview page. Alongside a summary of the Project’s Resources, it presents two deploy cards:

  • From the Board: create and wire Resources visually, then deploy from the canvas.
  • From the CLI: the copy-paste commands to hyjal init and hyjal deploy from your repository.

Both paths produce the same result.

Where domains live

Custom domains are managed per Resource under Config → Domains. Add a domain, and the Console shows a three-stage tracker (DNS, then Certificate, then Live) as verification and TLS issuance complete. The full walkthrough, including the required TXT and CNAME records, is in Custom domains.
