Built HydraSched — A Hydrocarbon-Aware Cloud Scheduler

Most cloud schedulers optimize for carbon efficiency but ignore water consumption, leading to hidden environmental trade-offs.

HydraSched addresses this by balancing both carbon and water impact while assigning workloads across data center regions.

Key Highlights:

  • Evaluates multiple regions using environmental metrics
  • Balances carbon vs water using policy-based optimization
  • Enforces real-world constraints like latency and capacity
  • Shows clear comparison between baseline and optimized decisions
  • Visualizes carbon and water savings in real time

Example result: Reduced 73% carbon emissions and 53% water usage compared to baseline routing.

Built as a full-stack system using: React, Flask, Tailwind, Recharts Deployed on Vercel and Render
