The "running from a single box" at the end seems like it could be the most important part of the equation. Would you agree? Or rather, would that be the recommended place to start optimizing if your app runs into scaling problems?
- swartkrans 12y agoI don't know how you could load balance meteor easily, but you could put your mongodb instance anywhere and pass in its location to meteor. This doubles your risk for downtime because of hardware failure though, your uptime is no longer as good as a system that depends on the uptime of a single machine.
- imslavko 12y agoHere is a very fine blog posts series on scaling Meteor horizontally, please consider looking at it: https://meteorhacks.com/pro-meteor/ https://meteorhacks.com/pro-meteor/
- thathonkey 12y agoInteresting, thanks. In that first blog post it mentions that Meteor serves static files. Is that a requirement? edit: posted too soon they talk about it here https://meteorhacks.com/does-meteor-scale.html https://meteorhacks.com/does-meteor-scale.html
- arunoda 12y agoAnd you can use cloudflare or some other CDN very easily. See: https://meteorhacks.com/cloudflare-meets-meteor.html https://meteorhacks.com/cloudflare-meets-meteor.html
- imslavko 12y agoNo, it is not a requirement. Meteor also supports serving static files from a CDN.
