Medusa is a set of commerce modules and tools that allow you to build rich, reliable, and performant commerce applications without reinventing core commerce logic.
The modules can be customized and used to build advanced ecommerce stores, marketplaces, or any product that needs foundational commerce primitives.
Medusa’s core package @medusajs/medusa is a Node.js headless server. It combines all the Commerce Modules that Medusa provides. Commerce Modules are ecommerce features that can be used as building blocks in an ecommerce ecosystem.
The backend connects to a database, such as PostgreSQL, to store the ecommerce store’s data. The tables in that database are represented by Entities, built on top of Typeorm. Entities can also be reflected in the database using Migrations.
The retrieval, manipulation, and other utility methods related to that entity are created inside a Service. Services are TypeScript or JavaScript classes that, along with other resources, can be accessed throughout the Medusa backend through dependency injection.
This is free and open source software.
