#62I'm curious what startups or big companies are using Meteor in production
My custom packaging startup Packlane ( http://packlane.com ) uses Meteor. Really grateful for this update since the old Mongo version had some major issues.

Definitely my biggest current beef with Meteor. It seems technically possible and I understand why they would go with Mongo first, so hopefully its just a matter of time.

Also, there's prototype-grade support for Redis:

And that's just the beginning. There are lots more databases that will follow: https://www.meteor.com/full-stack-db-drivers

#65Meteor 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…

#66Earlier quoted context omitted.
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…
I have a hard time understanding how meteor is comparable to angular or ember given that it appears to be full stack in every way, whereas angular or ember I can add to my existing stack. Meteor has always seemed interesting but the fact that it is hosted makes it a non starter. There's too many scaling questions that a marketing site will never put me at ease, I'll need to see some solid case studies and ideally a c…
Meteor is exclusively not hosted by Meteor (company), you are wrong. You -can- use their free hosting because it's useful to just get an MVP online as quickly as possible.
You can host a Meteor app wherever you can host NodeJS.

#68Has anyone used MEAN and Meteor? What are the benefits of one over the other?

#69Rapid prototyping is all fine and dandy...but what happens if my idea actually does gain traction? This is the part that makes me uneasy about Meteor. It sounds like I'm either going to have to rewrite everything completely, or wait until Meteor matures, if I need to scale.
2500 subscriptions per minutes on a shitty $5 digital ocean droplet (in 2013). Don't put the cart before the horse, 99.99% of applications don't reach even 100 concurrent users on a regular basis.

#70I 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…
