TL;DR - we just launched Medusa 2.0, our biggest upgrade to our open-source project to date

Heyyo, Medusa co-founder here.

As always happy to share our big announcements with this wonderful community!

This time, I ahve huge news about our open-source project, Medusa. It all started as a single-company project and has since become the most-starred ecommerce repo on GitHub and gotten more than a million npm downloads.

It’s been an incredible journey, and our first launch back in start 2022 feels like lightyears behind us. What we’re introducing today has been in the works for nearly 12 months.

The new platform takes a fundamentally different approach to building commerce applications. We’ve modularized our entire platform from one headless system to 17 separate commerce modules, all supported by a framework that enables custom data models, business logic, Admin extensions, workflows, and more.

Our goal is to combine the best of developer tools with the core commerce functionality that platforms like Shopify and other closed solutions offer. The result is a platform that empowers developers and excels when custom logic is needed. Now customizations don’t require hacky workarounds, large development teams, or months of work.

This is a huge milestone for us, and we hope you will help support our launch! 🤍
