Frequently Asked Questions
In this guide, you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about Cloud.
Do I need to learn about Medusa to use Cloud?#
Since you deploy Medusa projects on Cloud, you need a developer who is familiar with Medusa to set up your project and add customizations for your business needs. Learn about Medusa in the Getting Started guide.
You can also contact a Medusa Expert to help you with building your Medusa project and deploying it on Cloud.
Does Cloud support hosting storefronts?#
Medusa can only host Medusa servers and admin dashboards. To host your storefront, you can use hosting providers like Vercel.
Learn more in the Connect Production Storefront guide.
What resources does Cloud provide?#
Cloud fully-manages your PostgreSQL databases, Redis instances, and S3 buckets. You don't need to configure or maintain them.
Do I own my code and data for my Medusa project on Cloud?#
Yes, your code is hosted on your GitHub repository. You can also export a dump of your Cloud database at any time.
Can I deploy multiple projects on Cloud?#
Yes, if your plan supports multiple projects. Learn more in the Pricing page.
Can I use my custom plugins and modules on Cloud?#
Yes, you can use any custom and out-of-the-box plugins and modules in your Medusa project deployed on Cloud. You retain the same flexibility as you would with a self-hosted Medusa project.
You can deploy projects like marketplaces, B2B, subscription-based stores, and more on Cloud.
Does Cloud create new Medusa projects for each deployment?#
No, Medusa does not create new Medusa projects for your deployments. Instead, it deploys your existing Medusa project from your GitHub repository.
Can I use a static IP address for my Medusa project on Cloud?#
No, Medusa does not provide a static IP address for your Medusa project on Cloud. However, you can use a proxy that has a static IP address to connect to your Medusa project.
Contact support for help with setting up a proxy for your Medusa project.
