### Fully modularized architecture

#### Decoupled architecture for more flexibility and gradual adoption.

In Medusa 2.0, modules are decoupled, enabling greater composability, use of standalone modules, and support for incremental module adoption.

##### Adopt Medusa modules incrementally

Medusa 2.0 eliminates database-level dependencies between commerce modules. This allows you to use only a few Medusa modules at a time without doing large data migrations first.

##### Integrate with 3rd parties

The new architecture lets you replace Medusa modules with 3rd-party services or your own custom-built products. Medusa defines interfaces for all modules to make deep integrations easy to set up.

##### New Index Engine for data querying

Query data across your stack. Create data relationships between modules with the new Link Modules and write queries that fetch data across your stack, including from 3rd-party systems.

### With Medusa 2.0, modules are orchestrated through workflows to guarantee data consistency across your stack. Extend and customize workflows to run custom logic, validation steps, and much more.

### Framework
