That's cool. Does Meteor actually make, sorry for using such a dirty word, money from something?

- adamnemecek 11y agoHosting.
- smanuel 11y agoI couldn't find any pricing information on their website and that's why I asked. I've heard people using Meteor on Heroku, DO, etc. but I've always wondered why someone would choose Meteor's hosting rather than host Meteor on Heroku (for example) and use a ton of other available plugins.
- rywalker 11y agoMeteor's hosting platform will be optimized for websocket-oriented always-connected applications, with monitoring/auto-scaling features for that sort of app.
- smanuel 11y agoHmm, I didn't know that apps that use websockets needed a different kind of auto-scaling and monitoring. That's interesting. Thanks!
- yannski 11y agoYep, that's... interesting. For sure real time web application needs better reactivity when scaling up and down. But you can already achieve this kind of reaction time on existing platforms that uses Docker for example (disclaimer: I'm working on the Scalingo PaaS that already supports MeteorJS app, see https://scalingo.com/meteorjs-hosting https://scalingo.com/meteorjs-hosting).
- djmashko2 11y agoMeteor's solution will also use containerization: http://info.meteor.com/blog/meteor-and-a-galaxy-of-containers-with-kubernetes http://info.meteor.com/blog/meteor-and-a-galaxy-of-container...
- hanley 11y agoAt the moment Meteor only has free development hosting, they haven't launched their production hosting yet so the pricing hasn't been announced either.
- rezistik 11y agoSome investments are multipliers not profit centers. If you invest in 9 companies that use Meteor then investing in Meteor means you've invested in those 9 companies. It's an investment in infrastructure.
- untog 11y agoIf you invest in 9 companies that use Meteor then investing in Meteor means you've invested in those 9 companies. Until they stop using Meteor.
- morgante 11y ago> If you invest in 9 companies that use Meteor then investing in Meteor means you've invested in those 9 companies. It's an investment in infrastructure. Except that I don't think you could find a single a16z, Matrix, or Trinity startup actually using Meteor in production. Meteor is great for toys and prototypes. But as soon as you start wanting to build an actual organization and team, it's the exact opposite of what you want.
- _random_ 11y agoIs that still a requirement for start-ups? Now, if they are not going to spend at least half the money on a new fancy office - that would be a major concern for investors.
