For the past 5 years we have built Medusa with the goal of making developers working in commerce happier and more productive. Along the way we have built a community of more than 10,000 developers, seen millions of npm downloads, and become the #1 commerce project on GitHub. Still, SaaS platforms dominate commerce today but they are too rigid leaving companies stuck with hacky workarounds that break unexpectedly and stifle innovation. Therefore we built Medusa 2.0 from the ground up with flexibility and customization in mind. When you start Medusa 2.0 for the first time you get a fully fledged commerce platform complete with a cart engine, an order management system, product and inventory tracking and much more. But unlike other platforms, Medusa ships with a framework for customization. This means you can introduce custom data models, business logic, API endpoints, workflows and more, to modify the behavior of Medusa to fit your needs. Medusa can be used to build: 1. DTC ecommerce websites like Mitsubishi, Tekla, and Matt Sleeps. 2. B2B commerce stores like Heineken, EKI, and Visionary. 3. Marketplaces like Viessmann, Foraged, and Patyna. 4. Whatever commerce application you have in mind. In Medusa 2.0, we are introducing more commerce features and a new architecture that makes it possible for a single developer to build commerce applications in hours that would previously take a team weeks or months to create. In addition the new architecture is modular, allowing you to replace default functionality with your own systems, and adopt Medusa incrementally. With this launch we are also introducing a set of new open-source Starters to get you set up with a storefront, pre-built features, and integrations to commonly used tools. We are so excited to launch Medusa 2.0 today, and we can’t wait to see more Medusa stores go live! In the meantime we will continue working relentlessly to make it easier to build custom commerce applications

Massive congrats on the launch! This is a superb and super composable! Good luck with the launch

Super excited for this release and being part of the team. We have literally spent countless hours bringing Medusa 2.0 to life 💪 Do give Medusa a try: - If you are looking for a developer-first commerce platform in which you control the source code. - You favor/appreciate Open-source products. - You are looking for a mature/new-age commerce platform that goes beyond the traditional commerce workflows. Our B2B starter kit is a great example of the same. https://github.com/medusajs/b2b-...

Are there any performance issues with Medusa similar to those in Magento 2? We are building a marketplace with millions of products (+10M products in various configurations). Magento is generally discouraged in such cases, so how would Medusa handle this? There aren’t many case studies available on this topic.

This is seriously very cool! I love open source tools and this one seems great! What front end framework do you use? Can others be used?

I couldn't be more excited to see Medusa 2.0 go live! 🎉 This release really showcases how far we’ve come in making the platform truly flexible for developers. The modular architecture has been a game-changer—allowing for so many different use cases, and the redesigned Admin feels so much more intuitive. From the first day I joined Medusa I got to use it to build Medusa Cloud and I can confidently say the potential for customizations with the built-in framework is endless. Whether you're launching a DTC store or diving into B2B, you can even launch your own SaaS. The new starters are ready to go and make it super easy to get up and running. Give it a try—I'm sure you’ll be blown away by what Medusa 2.0 can do!

I've been following you guys since the beginning, silently creeping in the shadows of your discord 🤣🤣 but I'm SO HAPPY to see this!

It looks like today is for e-commerce products on Product Hunt :D I came across Medusa a while ago when I saw its GitHub repository. It's pretty awesome what you guys have managed to build and it shows a lot of hard work and effort being put into this, especially as it is open source. The code itself is extremely modular so I can attest to the value proposition of your product. Also, the landing page is exactly my favorite style: clean, simple, minimalist, and great use of black and white aesthetic. For my own product, SkipSell launched today, it's a test prototype compared to your solution which is mature and already at version 2.0. Focusing on e-commerce tools for shops, Medusa offers developer capabilities, integrations, capabilities for e-commerce and a lot more. It's great to see the power that this platform unlocks for developers and I'd like to get to know how to use it; I might start a hands-on approach with it. Anyways, good luck with your launch! Again, awesome product and I hope people see the amount of effort that you guys put into it and congrats on being #1 e-commerce project on GitHub!!

As the technical writer at Medusa, it's been a very exciting journey full of learning and growth. I've worked before with different ecommerce frameworks, which made me appreciate more Medusa's vision and dedication to improving the developer experience for building ecommerce applications. Medusa 2.0 provides the commerce features and framework to build custom and innovative digital commerce applications. We've also aimed to improve the learning experience in our documentation to help developers start building with Medusa quickly and have a deeper understanding of the framework as a whole. Excited to see what stores will be built with Medusa 2.0!

Best open-source ecommerce system in the market! Congrats to the team!

Congratulations, team. The product has evolved over the last couple of years since I wrote a technical article about Medusa—great work by everyone. @nicklas_gellner @oliver_juhl @sebrindom

I've been looking forward to this day for many months! Medusa 2.0 is an absolutely incredible achievement by our team and an important milestone for Medusa as a company. We started working on Medusa five years ago out of frustration with the rigidity of existing commerce platforms. Whenever we or our clients at the time wanted to go beyond the conventional commerce experience–whether it was improving the customer experience, experimenting with new tools, or optimizing internal workflows–the rigidity of the platforms was forcing us to build hacky workaround for even simple things, and we were getting slowed down in the process of doing so. Medusa solves this problem and with 2.0 we have further improved the foundation making it the world's most flexible commerce platform. I am excited about the journey ahead, and grateful to have an amazing open-source community following and supporting us. LFG!

I'm super excited with this release. The first time I visited the Medusa website I knew there was something special about this company. This a humble team destined for greatness. Wishing you all the best!

It’s been an incredible journey. Our first Product Hunt launch feels like lightyears ago with everything that’s happened since for Medusa. Medusa 2.0 introduces a fundamentally new way of building commerce, offering the flexibility many companies have sought but couldn’t find with existing platforms. Our community has played a huge role in this launch. From direct contributions to invaluable feedback and tirelessly promoting the platform to new merchants. You’ve been amazing. Even in Preview, the interest from developers pushing this into production has been overwhelming. We’re deeply grateful for the support and are committed to giving back with a great product. 🤍

Great work Medusa team! It looks awesome! Plus it is open source 🥳

I am very excited for this release and be able to work with such a great team. We have put such effort to bring Medusa 2.0 to life and I hope/think you will love it 💪

Yesss! Really love the craft and depth that's gone into this, and know a few businesses that have really transformed their B2B sales with Medusa setups. Ace job @sebrindom, @nicklas_gellner and team - you're maestros

Worked with the stack on several occasions. The framework is pure and thought-out, which makes it highly approachable — especially for beginners. S-tier move expanding with more starters. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a Shopify alternative to pick up Medusa.

This is awesome, I have been following Medusa for quite sometime. Happy to see you launching here. Congrats and all the best

this is great,congrats guys i hope new devs or none devs can have their creative ideas tried on the platforlm
