Find in this page guides to deploy your Medusa backend on different platforms.
The following guides are intended for Medusa v1 users. If you're a Medusa v2 user, consider using Medusa Cloud. By using Medusa Cloud, you can avoid the complexities and challenges of self-hosting, while benefiting from automated deployment, scaling, and maintenance.
With Medusa Cloud, you also maintain full customization control as you deploy your own modules and customizations directly from GitHub:
- Push to deploy.
- Multiple testing environments.
- Preview environments for new PRs.
- Test on production-like data.
Refer to the Cloud vs. Self-Hosting comparison guide for more details.
