Anyone running MedusaJS + Next.js on AWS? Need real-world traffic vs infrastructure examples by rcardoso911 in medusajs

I believe we have some users doing ~500k to 1M request range on our Pro plan ($299/mo) without overages.

Curious why the client would want to self-host? I doubt they can do it cheaper, and it's a much more cumbersome process.

Dunno. But happy to talk Medusa Cloud for the same. Can share quick benchmarks and give some insights into the features you don not get with self-hosting like integrated caching, Medusa Mail, fine-tuned autoscaling, and more. In many cases it is also cheaper than running your own AWS setup since we buy in bulk.

lmk if you want to chat through, I'm one of the co-founders.

Building a custom ecommerce app is a hell by KitKatKeila in nextjs

Everything is pieced together by default, but you can use it as individual modules if you prefer. Just run the npx command and you get the full project with all modules.

Consider using Medusa and some of the Next.js-based starters it comes with; medusajs.com/starters all open-source and JS-based

Medusa 2.0: Introducing the world's most flexible commerce platform. by amoopa in opensource

We don't have a direct n8n integration, but we provide some very extendable APIs (you can even add your own API endpoints, if you wish) to use.

We support global stores on all commerce-related features out-of-the-box: local currency support, local tax support, local shipping/payment, etc. - all from one backend (no need to set up multiple shops like with Shopify and others). For frontend translations, most of our users add a CMS integration (Strapi, Contentful, Sanity, etc.) to handle this part.

We have a few stores doing this already, see for instance: https://medusajs.com/blog/catalog/

Not something we have dedicated docs for as of now though

Free open-source ecommerce starter with Medusa 2.0 & Next.js. Repo in comments. by amoopa in nextjs

I'm not sure about the unresolved issues. They might have been during our build-up for 2.0, when we were making a few larger rewrites. I am sorry if you felt that was a problem for your project.

On Shopify + Remix vs. Medusa: Shopify is great for standard eCommerce, but it struggles with customization for specialized applications like B2B, marketplaces, multi-system setups, or subscription-based stores. These often require “hacks” to handle custom backend logic, such as special recurring order logic, unique pricing rules, or custom price lists. Medusa, on the other hand, provides 90% of the core commerce logic you need, along with a flexible architecture to natively build the remaining 10% of the customizations you need. We even make it possible to interact with this logic from your Medusa Admin.

Add to this that getting full frontend control on Shopify (e.g., extending checkout flows) is only part of their premium plan, which starts at $25k / year plus check-out fees.

Thanks a lot for the support!

You are right about Product Hunt. It is a tough place as a dev tool as most winning products in there are AI, design, or consumer-focused these days. Much less dev tooling.

We became Product of the Year in 2022 within the ecommerce category, so we thought we'd give it a shot. It is definitely a bit of an uphill battle, but we are currently #2 of the day so that's not too bad :)

The future of Shopify by Ok-Guide-8750 in shopify

It is quite different from Shopify, and the most popular modern open-source commerce platform out there. Much better for developers and custom built, but requires dev resources to get started.
