Meteor 3.4.1 is out! A community-driven patch with 25+ contributors, a critical DDP fix for production apps, and a more polished Rspack experience. Here's what's new ↓

A single API request rarely hits MongoDB once. It hits it 5, 10, sometimes 20 times. At 80ms per call, the issue isn't your database: it's the network distance. 10 MongoDB calls × 80ms = a slow app, no matter how clean your code is.

@meteorjs 3.4.1 is out! Rspack consolidation, revitalized examples, and important fixes. I've also contributed with a new skeleton (starter) for TypeScript and Tailwind. A popular combination in the wider JS ecosystem! blog.galaxycloud.app/meteor-…

The most underrated file in a Meteor app: `.meteor/release`. It defines the exact framework version your app uses. Commit it? Local, CI, and production stay in sync. Skip it? Good luck debugging bugs that only happen in one environment.

🚀 @meteorjs 3.4.1 is out: Rspack consolidation, revitalized examples, and a DDP session memory leak fix that matters for production apps. The framework Galaxy is built around keeps shipping. Check it out: blog.galaxycloud.app/meteor-…

Auto-deploying on every push to main is convenient. On a team, it's risky. Safer pattern: • develop → auto-deploys to staging • main → deploys to production (via merge) Staging catches what would break before it reaches users.

Give me 3 tools and I will create magic for you. - git - docker - @meteorjs

First deploy done. You open the URL and see an error: 503: container still starting up. Wait a minute and refresh. or 404: app name in deploy ≠ URL you're hitting. Check ROOT_URL and the deploy command. Two errors, two quick diagnoses.

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…

Your Meteor app works in staging. Then breaks in production within hours. Subscriptions fail silently, memory leaks, DDP connections drop. New article: how to actually monitor a Meteor app in production: Galaxy, Monti APM, Sentry, UptimeRobot. blog.galaxycloud.app/monitor…

A detail most Meteor devs don't think about: when you run "meteor login", a token is saved to ~/.meteorsession. That file authenticates every deploy you make and anyone with access to it can deploy as you. Treat it like a password. Never commit it. Rotate it.

"This package doesn't work with Meteor." If you've been in the ecosystem, you've heard this. Often because of ESM issues. The problem: Many modern packages ship only ES modules. Meteor's bundler couldn't resolve them properly. Developers either: • Found alternatives (often inferior) • Wrote workarounds (often fragile) • Gave up (often frustrating) Meteor 3.4 removes this entire category of problems. RSPack handles ESM properly. Packages that work with Next.js, Vite, or Webpack now work with Meteor. Specifically now working: • React Router v7 • Modern i18n libraries • ESM-only utility libraries • Current UI component versions The "Meteor can't use X" era is over. The JavaScript ecosystem innovates constantly. Being unable to adopt new tools created a widening gap. 3.4 closes the gap.

Atlas shows you one price. Then adds egress fees, backup charges, support surcharges. Galaxy MongoDB: one flat number. Every month. Stop overpaying. Migrate today: galaxycloud.app/migrate-from…

Cordova builds in Meteor are now modern and here's why that matters. Until now, Cordova was treated as a legacy build target. That meant mobile apps missed out on modern syntax benefits like ES modules and tree shaking. With the new modern flag in Meteor 3.4, mobile architectures get the same optimizations as web. #MeteorJS #Cordova #MobileDev #JavaScript #OpenSource #WebDevelopment #NodeJS
