NEW UPDATES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO MICROTICA

Hear about new features first by joining our Discord Community.

🔑 The Medusa template now includes Backend + Admin

Apr 28, 2023

We are delighted to announce that our existing Medusa Server (backend) template now includes the Admin dashboard, as supported by Medusa 🚀

With this new addition, our users can now take advantage of both the Medusa Backend and Medusa Admin, which together provide a complete e-commerce solution. Medusa Backend is a powerful server that handles all of the critical backend operations, while Medusa Admin provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for managing and configuring the storefront.

At Microtica, we're dedicated to providing our users with the best possible experience. That's why we're constantly working on enhancing our platform and templates. We believe that this new addition to our Medusa template will significantly benefit our users and help them build robust and scalable e-commerce applications with ease.

We are excited to announce that Microtica now automatically includes MySQL as the default database for our n8n template! 🚀 With this new addition, our users can now benefit from MySQL's excellent performance, reliability, and scalability without having to manually set up a database. By adding this option to our n8n template, we're giving our users more flexibility and choice to optimize their workflows and enhance their productivity.

📣 NextJS Template upgrade to v13

Happy deploying! 🚀



⚡ Google Signup

Feb 23, 2023

🪲 Improvements and fixes

Feb 20, 2023

  • A new and improved template flow on the dedicated template page. You can preview the steps you have to perform to deploy the template on the cloud in a progress indicator on the left. We've added focus on the step in hand on the right.

  • Made improvements to the Deployment status tags in the Deployments page and the Deployments tab to avoid inconsistencies.


⚡ Optimized deployment pipelines 💨 

Feb 15, 2023

We've been working on optimizing the integrated CI/CD pipelines, and are proud to share that our newest release offers faster builds and deployments by 60%. You can deliver product versions faster than ever!



⚡ Assign a custom domain on Applications and Resources

Jan 13, 2023

With this update we are dramatically simplifying the custom domain setup for your applications and cloud resources.

To assign a custom domain just go to your application or resource details and click on Assign domain button and then just follow the few simple steps.

For detailed instructions follow the Assign a Custom Domain docs.



⚡ Pipeline builds for your applications

Dec 2, 2022

We are integrating application pipeline build and deployment executions in the Application Pipeline section.

Now you will be able to navigate through pipeline execution history and go to a specific execution to see the logs and debug any potential issues with the application build or deployment process.

Happy deploying! 🚀

⚡ Resource Logs - follow your application logs directly from Microtica Portal

Nov 18, 2022

Up until now when you had to debug an application deployed on AWS Fargate (Strapi, Medusa etc.) you had to login into AWS console and follow the logs from there.

This was a big pain point for our customers so today we are happy to announce that we are releasing the integrated resource logs into our portal. With this change you no longer have to login into AWS console to debug your apps.

Happy debugging! 🪲

📢 Introducing Medusa Server Template

Nov 11, 2022

Medusa Server Template
Medusa Server Template


You can now deploy a production-ready Medusa Server on your AWS account in a few simple steps.

The template includes managed Postgres and Redis instances for high availability and scalability. Alternatively, for those who want a cheaper solution for development, the template offers a "development" mode that works with SQLite and "fake" Redis instance.

The solution can be fully integrated with your existing Medusa Admin and Medusa Storefront.

In the upcoming months we plan to release a bundle of all three Medusa components as one solution.

Happy deploying! 🚀



🪲 Improvements and fixes

  • Improved navigation across the whole application with more accessible contextual actions
  • Application monitoring and logs are now the default view in application details
  • Improved the app list by providing more visibility of running, pending and failed pods


📢 Introducing Template Executions

Oct 14, 2022

You can now follow template deployment executions in real-time even if you leave the template page. On this page you can follow the status as well as debug any potential errors during deployment.

Happy deploying! 🚀

⚡ Deployment summary - review the configuration before deploying an App

Sep 30, 2022

Now when deploying an app from a template, you will see a summary of the steps that will take in place. Here you can review the Git configuration, the environment in which the app will be deployed and on which cluster/AWS account the resources will be provisioned.

Happy deploying! 🚀

📢 Introducing Framework Detection: deploy your apps much faster

Sep 23, 2022

You no longer have to have a Dockerfile file present in your repository to be able to deploy your existing applications. We now auto-detect your app framework and set a default configuration for building, packaging and deploying your app.

We automatically create .microtica folder in your repo with pre-configured deployment spec so you don't have to do it manually.

Since the whole setup is anyway stored in your Git repository, you can always change the default configuration directly in the code.

⚡ Save massive a amount of time finding and fixing your failed deployments

Sep 16, 2022

We as developers usually don't really pay attention when deployments go smoothly until something goes wrong. In these cases we have to go deeper and analyse where the problem occur and understand the root cause so we can quickly resolve it.

With Deployments we are addressing this need to quickly and reliable understand what's going on with your current and past deployments.

Deployment Status in Microtica

You can go to individual deployment to analyse the logs and what has changed compared to the previous successful deployment.

From here you can analyse the exact code and configuration changes and quickly spot the potential issue that's causing the deployment to fail.

🪲 Improvements and fixes

Sep 13, 2022

  • When removing an AWS account, we now unlink the AWS account from the environments
  • Fixed template execution logs not appear if execution failed
  • Added a possibility to create additional cluster in templates page
  • Fixed users unable to create new repo if the Git account has no other repos
  • Removed 'Cancel Plan' button in Billing for FREE plan projects
  • Add quick navigation button to logs in app overview page


⚡ Automated validation of your Git webhooks permissions immediately in the first template step

Sep 9, 2022

When deploying apps using templates, Microtica adds a Webhook to your repository for continuous build and deploy. Since each Git provider requires a specific minimum role to create a webhook, we are now making it immediately visible when the user has no sufficient rights to create a webhook.

To solve this problem, usually, you have to contact your administrator to increase your access rights.

⚡ Create Kubernetes cluster without leaving the app deployment steps

Sep 2, 2022

When deploying an app but you still don't have a Kubernetes cluster, instead of moving to a different page to create the cluster and then go back to the app, you can now provision a new cluster without leaving the app deployment page.

⚡ Connect your AWS account with one click

Aug 26, 2022

We are introducing a big improvement when connecting your AWS account by reducing the process to just one click.

Now with just one click we initiate the CloudFormation stack that gives Microtica permissions to provision infrastructure on your AWS account.
