Application Monitoring in Medusa Cloud

When running a production store, you need to understand how your application behaves under load and quickly identify what's breaking when the performance degrades.

We're introducing Monitoring in Medusa Cloud to give you direct visibility into your application's CPU and memory usage, HTTP traffic, and soon database performance without any configuration needed.

What's new

We've added a new Monitoring page to the project environment page:

The Monitoring page currently surfaces metrics across two areas:

Servers and Workers

Monitor the behavior of the servers and workers of your Medusa store, including total allocated CPU, summary of average CPU and memory usage, and restart patterns.

HTTP

Track requests per second, latency by endpoint, and error rates to understand how your store performs under real traffic.

Read more about Monitoring in our documentation.

Following your application under load

Monitoring lets you watch how your application responds as traffic changes. As load increases, you can follow how servers and workers scale and know whether your current infrastructure is keeping up.

In addition to the scalability of your servers and workers, the HTTP dashboard also helps you understand your traffic patterns. You can see when your store is busiest, identify unusual spikes, and or debug performance bottlenecks in specific endpoints.

Debugging unexpected application behavior

When your application is not behaving as expected, Monitoring helps you determine whether it's a resource issue. High CPU or memory usage can lead to slow response times or application restarts.

For example, high memory usage in your server or workers can indicate that some operations in your application are inefficient and pulls in too many resources into memory. Monitoring allows you to identify these issues and review your application code accordingly.
