But it has MongoDB so it is web scale!

Re: Meteor 1.1 Released – Now Supporting Microsoft Windows and MongoDB 3.0
#22Meteor is great, I can't create a web app with other stacks faster than with Meteor. My record was saving the day with a demo in less than 1 hour. I'm glad is more mature. The only thing I miss is Postgres as alternative to MongoDB. Mongo is really comfortable but some projects needs Postgres badassness. Should be doable for Meteor's team since Postgres is now super friendly to JSON. I guess the main challenge is in…
+1 vote for a relational alternative. I am a fan of NoSQL, and I am a fan of Mongo, but I'd love to have the power of Meteor with a relational backend too.

#23I think I might give Meteor a shot. For a long time I have been working with AngularJS and Node.js. Recently I have been working exclusively with React.js + Flux and Node.js to build isomorphic web applications. I like the fact Meteor is isomorphic by default and comes with everything you need. I have always somewhat seen it as this outlier, a great looking framework but lacking the same vocality that Facebook and Go…
What's great is you can still use React with a Meteor backend. There are tons of integrations and examples out there on how to do so. :)

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
If I had to make a bet on the next important web framework, I would pick Meteor. All in.. :) Edit: They have made another good decision: seduce windows devs. Next one I believe it will be to support SQL. They have a large and diverse fanbase, probably the most open community for newbies and the new generation of devs - the ones that come from different backgrounds - and I have also the impression that I see a larger…
With no reasons as to why, this reads like either a paid comment or a fanboy/girl. Would you care to expand?
Done. I comment from a too active account to be a paid comment.. Fanboy maybe a bit :) but you can be sure I'm a very critical person.

The tooling is where Meteor really shines. I must admit I found React to be quite cumbersome to get off the ground, in contrast Meteor is pure bliss. It hasn't all been roses; I've had plenty of obstacles to overcome as I've learnt the framework, its capabilities and its limitations, but the community has been helpful and I can honestly say that working with Meteor is on the whole very slick. https://atmospherejs.com…
From what I have seen the tooling is definitely great. I am not the worlds biggest fan of Ruby on Rails, but one aspect I have always liked is the scaffolding. Being able to generate the skeleton of an application from the command line without needing to glue anything together or read documentation on multiple plugins.
Don't get me wrong, I love working with React.js, but it isn't a framework and aspects like dealing with data, API's and other more functional aspects can take a lot of time to get working with React's way of thinking. React also requires a certain degree of glue-fu to get it to the same place something like Angular, Ember or Meteor seems to be. I think Meteor could be a nice down-the-line framework. For my next project, I'll give it a shot. I have a friend who has been building something with it and he seems to absolutely love it.
Having said that, if you want to use React and Meteor after reading through the documentation it seems they make it easy to integrate with other libraries and even frameworks. I even saw they mentioned you can use Meteor with AngularJS (which is crazy), but cool nonetheless.

I haven't used Meteor too much, and I always seem to find myself a bit mystified as to what it really is. Is it the front-end? Seems like no, if you can swap that out with React. Is it the back-end? Can that be swapped? The real-time communication functionality? The tooling? All of the above, with caveats? I'm very curious!

My custom packaging startup Packlane (http://packlane.com) uses Meteor. Really grateful for this update since the old Mongo version had some major issues.

If you get lost at any point, I highly recommend https://www.discovermeteor.com/. Definitely much useful than the official documentation if you're looking for any sort of tutorial.

#30I made a snapshot on Terminal.com which lets you try Meteor 1.1 in seconds. Check it out here: https://www.terminal.com/snapshot/be98f98eece7e102bab130b91d... This boots a CentOS 6 box running Meteor 1.1. It's also running on Terminal so you can snapshot your progress anytime you want (or resize to a bigger machine without rebooting too).
How do I navigate to `my_cool_app`? Do I need to change the apache configuration, or symlink into `/var/www/html`, or what?
