@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:

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.

Meteor went from Node 12 to Node 22 in 5 years.
Fibers removed. SWC replaced Babel. Rspack arrived. Change Streams in beta.

Your @meteorjs app is on Galaxy.
Your MongoDB is somewhere else.
Every query crosses a network, adds latency, and costs you money you're not tracking. That's a physics problem.
@CloudByGalaxy has managed MongoDB. Going to be talking more about this soon.

The most common @meteorjs security incident I see:
Developer forks private repo to public GitHub "just to test something."
Bots scrape the commit history within minutes.
MONGO_URL, API keys, Stripe secrets. All gone.
The fix is 3 scripts and an Infisical account. We wrote the whole thing up:

Your settings.json is in the repo.
A public fork, a Docker image push, a misconfiguration... and your MongoDB credentials are gone.
The fix is simple: stop committing secrets.

Real-world numbers from migrating the @CloudByGalaxy app to Meteor 3.4's new esbuild bundler:
From 8.5mb to 1mb on the main client bundle 🤯
That's an 88% reduction!
Not a benchmark: a production app. The same one you use to deploy your Meteor projects.

"Is Meteor dead?"
I mapped every @meteorjs release from 2.0 to 3.5 beta.
5 years. 30+ releases. Node 12 → 22. MongoDB driver v3 → v6. Build system rewritten twice.

It took a few years from the initial concept to getting finally merged (this is only the latest in a series of PRs). Looking forward to @meteorjs 3.5

A developer forks your private repo to their personal GitHub. Sets it public by accident. Bots scrape your MongoDB credentials and API tokens within hours.
This is why you shouldn't put secrets in settings.json.

Yes, @fireship_dev gets a lot of things right in his videos, but he was wrong in this case.
So, @fireship_dev just put Meteor.js in a "when open source fails" video. And they're (mostly) wrong.
I work in the Meteor ecosystem. I need to talk about what actually happened, because the real story is way more interesting than "it faded away."
