Hello everyone,

To study the feasibility of a project, I would like to know what is the maximum catalog size that the classic Medusa.js 2 stack can support without degradation?

Is it feasible to handle 15 million products?

Thank you!

i don't think this got tested yet in real world because v2 not been stable enough to go to prod yet.

15 million fine for just postgres & node in theory.

but my guess is new architecture where every single custom data field results in join table + joins when querying might make 15 million a challenge.

of course possible, but how big is ur DB server needs to be?? that will need benchmarking in real world app.

Thank you very much for your response. I don't know much for the moment; it's for a business with a large number of references in the catalog but only a few of each item. There won't necessarily be a large number of visitors.

It will be fine regardless, I don't think performace will be an issue until billions, and if it gets to that point and you are getting errors, explore partitioning and read replicas, if the the data is relavantly stable you can be heavy on the cache and that would really reduce db queries
