Yes, I know of tons of applications that have a large code base and use Meteor. Go look at places like ClassCraft, WorkPop, MixMax, FantasyHub, etc. Plenty of teams are scaling both the code base and the app servers to handle thousands of c

You need to get a Meteor category in there :)

I am probably pretty biased, but I love Telescope! I am biased because I love Meteor and run http://crater.io , a Meteor news site based on Telescope.

Niall, I sense that you don't really want an answer to this, you have already made up your mind... Why is the sticky session requirement a huge devops concern? From what I understand Mongo sharding shouldn't be hard to implement,

You are correct, MDG has nothing to do with Atmosphere.

We are lucky to have you around to correct us all in the HackerNews comments! Where would life be without this generic comment?!?

I love this comment, great job! Also, people are scaling it, we just aren't hearing about it much. I am working to correct that, these trials of scaling need to be more public right now.

What would you suggested or advocate instead then? I have helped publish a ton of polished Meteor apps.

Yes. It is being worked on by the core team.

I guess I would love to hear what you are missing. I think there is a gap between your unknowing and my knowing and I tried to bring that gap a little. I am still trying to figure out how to explain Meteor to someone brand new to web dev an

What kind of article are you looking for? I talk about all kind of Meteor related stuff on my blog. Don't confuse your circle of vision on twitter/hackernews/etc as a limited view of what is actually going on in the Meteor co

Wow, this make me really sad. I remember interviewing him about Engine Yard on my old podcast. He always impressed me and I was so happy he took the time to talk: http://web20show.com/2008/07/episode-47-ezra-zygmun

It is not a PaaS, it is a framework that goes a bit further than previous frameworks. Angular and ember really just work for front-end code. Meteor spans both the front-end and back-end to offer a seamless API experience when building your

I love Telescope! I use it to run the Meteor.js news site http://crater.io . I am really impressed with the continued efforts that Sacha puts into both Meteor and the Open Source community. He is something I aspire to be like one

Great guys, can't wait to see a finished copy of this book! Seems like the books are exploding lately, right before 1.0 is about to drop. Good timing!

Wow, thanks for sharing this! Love the meteor community :)

I'm hosting a talk on Meteor.js and what I've learned from my year+ time using it. I am pretty excited and I think the lineup looks amazing!

MongoDB is the only officially supported DB atm, but after 1.0 I have heard that Postgres will be the next big feature.

Having tried to build several businesses where I separated concerns across code bases, it always ended up painful in the end for me. Perhaps being an older (nee wiser?) developer, I could pull the idea off in a more nuanced way, but I bet I
