As the world moves towards a more digital economy, e-commerce is becoming an increasingly important part of businesses. To keep up with the changing times, it’s essential to adopt a cloud-native approach to your e-commerce platform. In this blog, we will introduce you to two powerful tools that can help you achieve rapid deployment of your e-commerce website: Microtica and Medusa.js. We will take a deep dive into what cloud-native e-commerce is, how Microtica and Medusa.js work, and how they complement each other. We will also discuss case studies of successful deployment using these tools and what skills are required for implementing them. Lastly, we’ll talk about future trends in cloud-native e-commerce and how Microtica and Medusa.js shape the future of online shopping.

The Medusa Next.js Starter Template supports popular instant-search providers Melliseach and Algolia out of the box. With these integrations, you can provide fast and accurate search results.

Hi - I'm Nick, co-founder of MedusaJS.

Nick, co-founder of Medusa, here. As per tradition now, we love to share the progress we make on our open-source commerce SDK with this amazing community. Always keen to hear your feedback!

The first time I started building static websites is when I discovered Gatsby. I built several projects using Gatsby and hosted it on Netlify free tier. It felt like a really robust architecture and I loved that it was free.

A Gatsby site uses Gatsby, which leverages React and GraphQL to create fast and optimized web experiences. Gatsby is often used for building static websites, progressive web apps (PWAs), and even full-blown dynamic web applications.

While Next.js is a powerful framework for building server-rendered React applications, it's not the only option for developers looking to create high-performance websites. One notable alternative is Gatsby, a static site generator that leverages React and GraphQL.

The other piece of important information to acknowledge here is that when we say RSCs need a framework, “framework” effectively just means “Next.js.” There are some smaller frameworks (like Waku) that support RSCs. There are also some larger and more established frameworks (like Redwood) that have plans to support RSCs or (like Gatsby) only support RSCs in beta. We will likely see this change once we get React 19 and RSCs are part of the Stable version. However, for now, Next.js is currently the only framework recommended in the official React docs that supports server components.

GatsbyjsCMS - Gatsby is the fast and flexible framework that makes building websites with any CMS, API, or database fun again. Build and deploy headless websites that drive more traffic, convert better, and earn more revenue!

GatsbyJS

Babel plugins are everywhere. From being used to remove unwanted exports from files in Gatsby to being used to disallow users from doing re-exports in Nextjs.

In terms of GitHub stars, SSGs like Next.js, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Nuxt.js, and Jekyll top the list. Some popular SSGs even host conferences and workshops, providing resources and networking opportunities for those looking to explore more advanced topics in depth.

Flexibility : Developers have complete control over the frontend so they can use their preferred tools and frameworks like React, Next.js, Gatsby, or Remix.
