This guide is a step-by-step blueprint for deploying a Medusa application on AWS using Terraform. We break down the process into manageable, bite-sized chapters, transforming a potentially complex task into an automated, reliable, and repeatable workflow.
Define your infrastructure once and deploy it consistently with one command.
Spin up identical development, staging, or production environments easily.
AWS + Terraform make it straightforward to scale your resources.
Keep your infrastructure configurations in Git, just like application code.
Changes to infrastructure are tracked, reviewed, and applied systematically.
Track infrastructure health and get notified instantly when issues arise.
We keep things beginner-friendly but technically sound, so you don’t need deep AWS experience to follow along.
Create your AWS account, secure it with MFA, and set up an IAM user specifically for Terraform.
Install Terraform locally and understand its basic commands and workflow.
Use the u11d-com/Medusa/aws module to provision the core AWS infrastructure for the Medusa backend.
Set up the Next.js storefront starter, apply recommended Docker configurations, build the frontend Docker image locally.
Authenticate Docker with AWS ECR, tag and push the frontend image, update Terraform configuration, and deploy the storefront.
Learn the basics of monitoring logs, metrics, and setting alarms for your deployed application.
