Is medusa production ready ecommerce solution?

[nparoski]

Hello, I've been playing around with medusajs and It seems like it's too buggy to be able to run in real world.
I've followed latest setup guide and created docker configuration for backend

Dockerfile

FROM node:18.17.1

COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN npm cache clean --force
RUN npm install

CMD ["npm","run","dev"]

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.8"

services:
  backend:
    container_name: api_backend
    build:
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
      context: ./backend
    ports:
      - "7001:7001"
      - "7000:7000"
      - "9000:9000"
    depends_on:
      - database

  database:
    image: postgres:15
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: admin
      POSTGRES_DB: medusa_db

Also the other day I was trying to upload .webp thumbnails and media for product and it was failing, but now it works. My experience is that everything gets broken from time to time and then fixes it self but something else breaks.

Hi there.

I am sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. We are working our hardest to ensure that all first touchpoints for developers and merchants are great, but there is definitely still room for improvement.

In regard to the reported problem, I've responded to your issue on the repository. Hope it helps!

Medusa is indeed ready for production. You can find various case studies on our blog, ranging from fast-growing DTC businesses to large enterprise corporations using Medusa to power their commerce.

I will close this Q/A, as I don't think there's more to discuss. If you have additional requests for help, I would recommend joining our Discord or filing issues on our repository.
