Meteor.js

Your Meteor app works in staging. Then breaks in production within hours. Subscriptions fail silently, memory leaks, DDP connections drop. New article: how to actually monitor a Meteor app in production: Galaxy, Monti APM, Sentry, UptimeRobot. blog.galaxycloud.app/monitoring-and…

A detail most Meteor devs don't think about: when you run "meteor login", a token is saved to ~/.meteorsession. That file authenticates every deploy you make and anyone with access to it can deploy as you. Treat it like a password. Never commit it. Rotate it.

"This package doesn't work with Meteor." If you've been in the ecosystem, you've heard this. Often because of ESM issues. The problem: Many modern packages ship only ES modules. Meteor's bundler couldn't resolve them properly. Developers either: • Found alternatives (often inferior) • Wrote workarounds (often fragile) • Gave up (often frustrating) Meteor 3.4 removes this entire category of problems. RSPack handles ESM properly. Packages that work with Next.js, Vite, or Webpack now work with Meteor. Specifically now working: • React Router v7 • Modern i18n libraries • ESM-only utility libraries • Current UI component versions The "Meteor can't use X" era is over. The JavaScript ecosystem innovates constantly. Being unable to adopt new tools created a widening gap. 3.4 closes the gap.

Atlas shows you one price. Then adds egress fees, backup charges, support surcharges. Galaxy MongoDB: one flat number. Every month. Stop overpaying. Migrate today: galaxycloud.app/migrate-from-a…

Cordova builds in Meteor are now modern and here's why that matters. Until now, Cordova was treated as a legacy build target. That meant mobile apps missed out on modern syntax benefits like ES modules and tree shaking. With the new modern flag in Meteor 3.4, mobile architectures get the same optimizations as web. #MeteorJS #Cordova #MobileDev #JavaScript #OpenSource #WebDevelopment #NodeJS

is @meteorjs dead?

@meteorjs 3.4 performance recap: • 75% faster builds • 90% faster hot reloads • 50% smaller bundles • Full tree shaking • Modern HMR Fastest Meteor has ever been. And 3.5 will go further.

Meteor 3.4 performance recap: • 75% faster builds • 90% faster hot reloads • 50% smaller bundles • Full tree shaking • Modern HMR Fastest Meteor has ever been. And 3.5 will go further.

Production apps on Meteor: • Rocket.Chat (millions of users) • Wekan (Trello alternative) • Qualia ($30M+ raised) Plus hundreds of SaaS products and internal tools.

@meteorjs Dev is easy-peasy with @meteorjs

Left Meteor in 2020-2021? Here's what changed: • Node 14 lock-in → ✓ Node 22 • Fibers → ✓ async/await • Slow builds → ✓ 4x faster (RSPack) • No tree shaking → ✓ 50% smaller bundles And a lot of good things are coming.

The hidden cost of flexibility: Pick your framework. Pick your auth. Pick your state management. Pick your real-time solution. Debug the integrations. Or you can just use Meteor and ship features on day one.

What Meteor gives you out of the box: • Real-time data sync • User accounts + OAuth + 2FA • Mobile apps (Cordova) • Optimistic UI • Same code client & server So you can mainly focus on shipping features.

"But isn't Meteor.js dead?!" 😳 Honestly? We're tired of answering this. So we made a 39-minute video with the Core Team and CEO to settle this once and for all. Spoiler: NO, IT'S MORE ALIVE THAN EVER! Watch it: youtube.com/watch?v=t8Pi1u…

Two types of tech companies: 1. Raise $100M, chase growth, pivot or die 2. Build profitable products, serve customers, exist long-term Meteor is type 2. No pivot pressure. Just good tools.

We’ve been listening to the community for a long time, and today we’re excited to share what’s coming in Meteor 4.0. Meteor is dropping MongoDB in favor of Semantic Memory - After years of schema debates, migration headaches, and oplog nightmares, we made a decision: databases are over. Meteor 4.0 ships with a built-in AI layer that stores your data as semantic embeddings. No collections. No documents. No queries. You just describe what you need and the framework figures it out. Meteor.remember(“the user’s last order”), that’s your new data layer. Meteor 4.0 ships with first-class PHP support - We know. We know. But the data doesn’t lie: PHP powers 77% of the web, and we’re not here to fight the market. You’ll be able to write your Meteor methods in PHP with full DDP compatibility. jQuery Legacy Mode is back - By popular demand, Meteor 4.0 ships with a meteor add jquery@1.x official package. Blaze + jQuery 1.11 is a stack that simply works, and we’re done pretending otherwise. Migration guide and beta release: April 1st.

Meteor 3.4 introduces new bundler optimizations for Atmosphere packages: the devOnly and npmDevDependencies options in package.js let you strip entire packages and their npm dependencies from production builds. After applying this to @cloudbygalaxy, we cut the production bundle size by roughly 42%. Watch the full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=drdxkR…

Cordova builds were previously treated as legacy in Meteor, meaning all generated code went through legacy transpilation. With the modern flag now enabled, mobile apps can benefit from Rspack and SWC, and npm dependencies that require modern syntax will finally work without complaints.

@RubyBrewsday @timneutkens @jadengis Real ones know 🤘

@timneutkens @jadengis I only use @meteorjs like a real badass

Nextjs sucks.

Real ones know 🤘
