    On the other hand, EC2 was built in isolation by a team of two, Chris Pinkham and Chris Brown, working remotely from South Africa. The idea behind building EC2 was to allow developers to build and run their application on Amazon’s servers, regardless of what type of application it was. The plan was to build EC2 on top of an open source tool called Xen which made it possible to run several applications on one physical server.

    While there is still progress to be made in optimizing developer experience, at Medusa we aim to follow in Amazon's footsteps by providing ecommerce developers with the necessary building blocks to build, scale, and innovate. With the right primitives in place, we believe that developers can build the Amazons of tomorrow.
