Building a Scalable Medusa
Infrastructure on AWS

Transform your Medusa vision into a powerhouse with a cloud infrastructure built for scalability, security, and performance. Using AWS managed services, we delivered a low-maintenance environment—integrating Strapi CMS and optimized image delivery—so your e-commerce platform grows seamlessly while you focus on innovation.

Task

Designed and deployed a scalable Medusa infrastructure with Strapi CMS and CloudFront-powered image optimization.

Technologies

ECS Fargate, Strapi, ElastiCache, RDS PostgreSQL, Meilisearch, CloudFront, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Terraform, CloudWatch.

Result

Fully integrated Medusa and Strapi platform deployed in five months, featuring automated pipelines and real-time monitoring.

We containerized the Medusa backend (Node.js) and storefront (Next.js) on ECS Fargate, alongside a headless Strapi CMS running as an ECS task with its own RDS PostgreSQL database. ElastiCache improved caching, Meilisearch (ECS task) powered search, and CloudFront handled image transformation and caching for ultra-fast delivery.

Custom services enhanced functionality, all orchestrated via GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline. A Docker Compose setup simplified local development, while Terraform ensured infrastructure-as-code (IaC) consistency. CloudWatch monitoring, with Slack and email alerts, enabled proactive system oversight—delivering a secure, high-performing, and scalable e-commerce solution.
