In this chapter, you’ll learn about architectural modules.
|
||
|
||
## What is an Architectural Module?
|
||
|
||
An architectural module implements features and mechanisms related to the Medusa application’s architecture and infrastructure.
|
||
|
||
Since modules are interchangeable, you have more control over Medusa’s architecture. For example, you can choose to use Memcached for event handling instead of Redis.
