Usage Information
At Medusa, we strive to provide the best experience for developers using our platform. For that reason, Medusa collects anonymous and non-sensitive data that provides a global understanding of how users are using Medusa.
Purpose#
As an open source solution, we work closely and constantly interact with our community to ensure that we provide the best experience for everyone using Medusa.
We are capable of getting a general understanding of how developers use Medusa and what general issues they run into through different means such as our Discord server, GitHub issues and discussions, and occasional one-on-one sessions.
However, although these methods can be insightful, they’re not enough to get a full and global understanding of how developers are using Medusa, especially in production.
Collecting this data allows us to understand certain details such as:
- What operating system do most Medusa developers use?
- What version of Medusa is widely used?
- What parts of the Medusa Admin are generally undiscovered by our users?
- How much data do users manage through our Medusa Admin? Is it being used for large number of products, orders, and other types of data?
- What Node version is globally used? Should we focus our efforts on providing support for versions that we don’t currently support?
