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=t8Pi1ubS…

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=drdxkRCR…

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.

Real ones know 🤘

Updating an existing Meteor app to 3.4 and enabling the Rspack bundler comes with a few gotchas, and we walk through the most common ones. Watch the full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=drdxkRCR…

"Is Meteor.js dead?" Here's what actually happened: 30+ releases, a complete async rewrite, 4x faster builds, and a new real-time engine in beta. The full story from 2.0 to 3.5: blog.galaxycloud.app/meteorj…

Why did a 20-year fintech choose Meteor over trendier options? PlatPay did, and on this week's Galaxy Crew Podcast, they explain exactly why. A real story about Meteor in production: youtube.com/watch?v=c1Vo7vsP…

I'm vibe building spaces.tf for the fun, and with Meteor and blaze it's so easy 😁

Looking for Meteor production stories: • Real-time dashboards • Collaborative apps • SaaS products • Internal tools What did you build? How's it running? #MeteorJS #BuildInPublic

Your Meteor methods are now MCP tools with 2 lines of code. meteor-wormhole by Will Reiske bridges your existing methods to any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) with zero rewriting. Check it out: github.com/wreiske/meteor-wo…

Discover Meteor brought thousands of devs into @meteorjs when full-stack JS was still a weird idea. 10 years later, Meteor is at v3.x: async/await, TypeScript, Rspack, and Change Streams just around the corner. Should someone rewrite it? 👀

To plenty more years 🍷

After migrating Atmosphere to @meteorjs 3.4 + @rspack_dev, we cut our container size in half. Double containers down to Standard. Half the resources, and the app still feels faster than it did before.
