Meteor.js

Shoutout to @HarryAdel2 for migrating WeKan's full auth stack to Meteor 3.0: OIDC, Sandstorm, CAS, and LDAP all asyncified. Fibers out, native async/await in. He tells more about it here: harryadel.com/dev-diary-25/

"Galaxy has made hosting @meteorjs apps effortless in so many ways. Spinning up containers, scaling, and SSL setup are all automated with very minimal configuration. It's like Amazon AWS, but no certificate required to understand it!" <3

5 years. 30+ releases. A complete async rewrite. 4x faster builds. A new real-time engine in beta. Full history with context behind every decision: blog.galaxycloud.app/meteorjs-relea…

Feb 2026 (v3.5-beta): Change Streams as an alternative to oplog tailing. 40% more connection scalability vs oplog. No OOM crashes under high load. Node 24 on deck. uWebSockets.js being discussed as opt-in DDP transport.

Meteor shipped 30+ releases in 5 years. Node 12 to Node 22. Fibers removed. Babel to SWC to Rspack. Change Streams in beta. Here's everything that happened, version by version 🧵

@maiahmac @fredmaiaarantes yep!

@fredmaiaarantes @meteorjs Oh, the beta just started last Feb. All good 🙌

@meteorjs shipped 30+ releases in the last 5 years. Dropped Fibers entirely. Migrated everything to async/await. Jumped from Node 12 to Node 22. Replaced the bundler with Rspack. Added Change Streams in 3.5. This framework keeps shipping. Full version-by-version history: → blog.galaxycloud.app/meteorjs-relea…

5 years of catch-up and we're still not tired 🤙 There's a lot of good stuff on the way. Stay tuned.

Running a @meteorjs app usually means: - @CloudByGalaxy for hosting - Atlas (or something else) for MongoDB - Maybe a third thing for Redis 3 dashboards. 3 billing cycles. 3 places to look when something breaks. Most teams don't feel this cost until they're deep in it.

We wrote a full guide on secrets management for Meteor apps on @CloudByGalaxy: from cleaning your repo history to a deploy script that never leaves credentials on disk. Check it out: blog.galaxycloud.app/meteor-secrets…

Deleting secrets.json from your repo doesn't remove it from Git history. Anyone with access can still find it with a simple git log. If you committed a secret, rotate it. That's the only fix. More on this in the next post ↓

Meteor went from Node 12 to Node 22 in 5 years. Fibers removed. SWC replaced Babel. Rspack arrived. Change Streams in beta. Check out the full version-by-version history from 2.0 to 3.5: blog.galaxycloud.app/meteorjs-relea…

@maiahmac We've been discussing type-safe RPCs for Meteor methods. GraphQL fits microservices well, but for Meteor's monolith model, typed methods feel like the right direction. There's already a discussion about this on GitHub: github.com/meteor/meteor/…

@meteorjs One of the innovation in JS land that is very cool the time it gets introduced! Hoping in the future there will be first class Apollo graphql server/client support. Or even proper type-safe RPC like orpc or trpc would be great as this is becoming the default for meta frameworks

One thing Meteor 3.4 quietly unlocks: full compatibility with the modern JS ecosystem. React Router v7. Workbox. The latest versions of Svelte, Solid, Vue. Angular is back. Full ESM support. Whatever you can do in esbuild or Webpack, you can now do in Meteor.
