Announcing Medusa Cloud Self-Serve

We are thrilled to announce that Medusa Cloud is now available for everyone!

After powering critical commerce workloads at both fast-growing startups and billion-dollar enterprises, and helping hundreds of projects go from zero to production over the past year, we are now making Medusa Cloud generally available through our new self-serve plans.

Medusa Cloud joins our core commerce modules and developer framework as a critical primitive handling infrastructure so you can focus on what matters: creating exceptional commerce experiences.

Why Medusa Cloud?

Medusa's open-source nature delivers an unmatched developer experience, true ownership of your tech stack, and a flexible platform that adapts to your needs. This enables companies like Heineken, Eight Sleep, and thousands more to operate more efficiently and create unique customer experiences.

But open-source software can be challenging to host. Deployment, scaling, security, and maintenance are resource-intensive. Small teams lack the bandwidth to meet industry standards, while larger enterprises face high risks in configuring digital commerce infrastructure correctly.

Medusa Cloud offers a unique balance. You retain full control of your codebase. Just connect your GitHub repository, and we handle the rest: servers, databases, object storage, and more. It is the perfect blend of open-source freedom and managed reliability, reducing DevOps overhead while minimizing risks and costs typically associated with custom software.

By automating provisioning, configuration, and scaling, Medusa Cloud lets you go live and grow to millions (or billions) in revenue without needing deep infrastructure expertise.

Key Features of Medusa Cloud

Medusa Cloud is designed specifically for Medusa applications, offering fine-tuned capabilities that generic providers cannot match. Here are some highlights:

• GitHub Integration: Seamlessly connect your repository for automated deployments. Pushes to your main branch trigger updates to your production environment, including the Medusa backend and Admin dashboard. No manual intervention needed, your changes go live quickly and reliably.
• Additional Environments: Beyond production, create long-lived pre-production environments (like staging or dev) that track specific branches. This mirrors your Git workflow, with automatic deployments on branch pushes.
• Preview Environments: For every pull request, spin up isolated previews with their own databases branched from your dev data. Run migrations safely, preview with real data (products, shipping configs, etc.), and share unique URLs with stakeholders. Once merged, the environment auto-deletes, keeping things clean and efficient.
• Auto-Scaling: Built-in autoscaling monitors your app and adjusts resources dynamically during traffic spikes. Our Medusa-specific tuning ensures optimal performance, so your store stays up and running no matter the load.
• Resilience and Recovery: Your data is automatically backed up with point-in-time recovery and built-in failover handling, ensuring high availability and quick restoration in case of failures or accidental changes.
• Logging: Comprehensive logging tools provide insights into your application's health, making it easier to debug, monitor, and optimize over time.

These features ensure you can build and iterate quickly while scaling confidently, all without sacrificing the customization that makes Medusa special. And this is just the start: in the coming months, we will be adding capabilities like advanced caching, storefront deployment, and built-in support for transactional emails. Medusa Cloud will continue to evolve as the best place to operate and scale your Medusa application.
