What Hacker News says?
> Congratulations to the Medusa team for the launch. Slightly envious that your post has gained so much traction > compared to the ~3 upvotes from my launch a few months ago, but no hard feelings, haha Interesting. Maybe your title wasn't so "click-bait" as this one and you linked your github repo instead of your well made website https://www.vendure.io/ ? Both are definitely great projects!

HN discussionThis article, whilst quite clearly an advertisement ("this is so complex - use our service!"), actually does a decent job of illustrating just a tiny fraction of the complexity of correctly modelling an e-commerce system. For the past 2 years I've been working full-time on an open-source headless e-commerce framework ( https://www.vendure.io/ ) so I can attest to this. Small illustrative example: I have spent the pa…

HN discussionJust scratching the surface (not including Magento or WooCommerce) take a look at some of open source solution which can be installed on bare-metal, cloud or used as SaaS offered by providers. These all are ready to deploy solution in hours and days (obviously as stated earlier the difficult part is not this but the business itself. ): 1. Spree [1] Store Demo [2] 2. Saleor [3] Store Demo [4] 3. Reaction [5] 4. Solid…

HN discussionFrom a technical standpoint you need to get off monolithic platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce, and even Salesforce and Oracle Commerce Cloud. These platforms stifle growth and present limitations for scaling. What you need is something called a headless, mircroservices-based, API-first e-commerce architecture. A mouthful, I know. Fortunately there is some OSS and SaaS that makes adopting it easy. For OSS check o…

HN discussionHi, I've spent the past 3 years full time building an open source e-commerce framework ( https://vendure.io ) From my experience, I can most certainly recommend against rolling your own unless you have a few hundred spare hours Based on your expected volume I think something like Shopify makes sense and probably does most of what you need, if you can manage to get a frontend working to your requirenents. However, if…

on “Show HN: Vendure – an open-source, headless e-commerce framework”Hi HN! I'm the maintainer of Vendure. Today we released our major new version, which is a huge upgrade. I work on Vendure full time. I've been building it for about 5 years now, and last year I got a co-founder, started a company, and so far we are bootstrapping on the open core model with some enterprise support contracts too. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, and thanks for taking a look! Edit: Not sure…
