Fastest way to build and deploy Medusa applications

We are excited to share how Medusa’s infrastructure helps companies build and deploy reliable customizations fast. Customization eliminates the manual processes and hacky workarounds that hinder growth for commerce companies. Our investments in infrastructure underscore our commitment to enabling custom commerce by accelerating time to market for Medusa implementations and ensuring scalable operations; all without transaction or heavy licensing fees.

For growing businesses, off-the-shelf ecommerce platforms mean rigid workflows, costly fees, and scalability concerns. Customization is the key to staying competitive, but it must come without compromising stability or budget. Medusa Cloud bridges the gap from development to production with a seamless, scalable, and cost-effective platform, empowering your team to deliver tailored commerce solutions with confidence.

Seamless Development to Production Workflow

Medusa Cloud streamlines your journey and lets yu go from zero to production in minutes, reducing delays and errors so your team can deliver faster.

• GitHub Integration: Medusa Cloud integrates deeply with GitHub. Deployments happen with every code push for a fast and consistent development flow. Test your features before going live by setting up environments for staging and development.
• Preview Environments: To make testing even easier we give every pull request a fully isolated preview environment, complete with data. This lets your team catch issues early, ensuring quality before changes hit production.
• Logs and monitoring: Bugs happen. Medusa Cloud therefore comes with the right tools to identify issues and fix them fast.

With platforms like Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud or Commercetools, customizations require managing separate codebases and infrastructure. This fragmented setup increases overhead, raises the risk of errors, and slows development. With Medusa’s open framework and accompanying infrastructure you avoid these issues cutting down development timelines.

Scalable and Reliable Infrastructure

Medusa Cloud ensures your commerce operations scale effortlessly and stay online, no matter the demand.

• Autoscaling Infrastructure: Medusa Cloud’s autoscaling adjusts resources in real-time based on traffic, analyzed across thousands of Medusa projects. Whether it’s a seasonal spike or a viral campaign, your store stays fast and responsive without manual oversight.
• On-Call Team: Our 24/7 on-call team monitors the platform around the clock, resolving issues before they affect your business.
• Security: Medusa Cloud follows industry standard security measures to ensure your infrastructure is protected from bad actors and other security risks.

Like Medusa, closed commerce platforms manage infrastructure. However, many companies often forget the risk of disruptions associated with customizing closed platforms. Separate infrastructure from your customizations or 3rd party apps must be able to scale to meet your traffic. This requires careful monitoring and scaling to avoid bottlenecks. With Medusa you get infrastructure that scales everything giving you peace of mind and savings from infrastructure maintenance.

Cost-effective and Transparent Pricing

Unlike most commerce platforms that tie pricing to your revenue or take a cut of each transaction, Medusa Cloud follows a fundamentally different approach. We don’t charge based on gross merchandise volume (GMV), licensing, or transaction fees. Instead, our pricing is based on the infrastructure you use.

This model is both more transparent and often substantially more cost-effective. We have several businesses that have saved 80% and more on their commerce platform fees by migrating to Medusa. We see this time and again against platforms from Shopify Plus to Adobe Commerce and Commercetools.

They achive this through:

• Lower platform costs: We charge for infrastructure. Often far cheaper than GMV-based or licensed pricing.
• Less 3rd party tools: Other platforms (are incentivized to) push costly 3rd-party apps for basic customizations. We let you build them natively and even have a fully open-source Integration Directory for larger integrations.
• No extra transaction fees: Use Stripe or any payment service provider (PSP) without paying Medusa additional transaction fees, in contract to Shopify that charge 0.3–2% in fees.

With Medusa Cloud there are no hidden fees. We let you control costs while scaling your operations and you can instead reinvest in what truly matters: building features and solutions that drive business value.

Bonus: Built-in AI Assisted development coming soon

A lot of our roadmap is informed by how we can help teams ship faster. AI has a huge impact on the cost of delivering new features. We are bringing these capabilities directly to Medusa Cloud by making it possible to request a task to be build by our AI agent.

Our AI agent is optimized for writing production ready Medusa code and is an expert in digital commerce. We are excited to share more of its capabilities in the coming months.
