In this chapter, you'll learn how modules are isolated, and what that means for your custom development.

- Modules can't access resources, such as services, from other modules.
|
|
- You can use Medusa's tools, as explained in the next chapters, to extend a modules' features or implement features across modules.

## How are Modules Isolated?
|
|
|
|
A module is unaware of any resources other than its own, such as services or data models. This means it can't access these resources if they're implemented in another module.
|
|
|
|
For example, your custom module can't resolve the Product Module's main service or have direct relationships from its data model to the Product Module's data models.

## How to Implement Custom Features Across Modules?
|
|
|
|
In your Medusa application, you want to implement features that span across modules, or you want to extend an existing module's features and customize them for your own use case.
|
|
|
|
For example, you want to extend the Product Module to add new properties to the `Product` data model.
|
|
|
|
Medusa provides the tools to implement these use cases while maintaining isolation between modules.
|
|
|
|
The next chapters explain these tools and how to use them in your custom development.
