1. Why Traditional Platforms Hold You Back

• Rigid schemas lock you into predefined catalog structures.

• Plugin bloat slows performance and creates security headaches.

• Heavy theming layers turn every UI tweak into a marathon.

• SaaS pricing tax eats margins the moment you start to scale.

Headless commerce solves these issues by decoupling the backend from the frontend. Medusa JS is the fastest-growing headless engine today—praised for its modular architecture and developer-first experience.

Medusa JS is an open-source Node.js framework designed to be the world’s most flexible commerce platform.
