Why Meteor?
Business part
Open-source
- Free (MIT license)
- Meteor is a mature open-source framework
- Big community - developed for over a decade and trusted by over 500k developers, including industry giants.
Rapid development
- Quick app bootstrapping
- Opinionated in some technologies
- Real-time, accounts, and other features for free
- Easily integrate additional technologies
- Use popular frameworks and tools right out-of-the-box
- Focus on building features instead of bikeshedding
Build apps for any device
You can use the same source code to build apps for:
- Web
- iOS
- Android
- Desktop (Windows, MacOS, Linux)
and have seamless user experience everywhere
There is no rose without thorns
but…
When Meteor might not be the right choice for the project
- A relational database is required as the primary source for the data
- No need for any real-time data or updates
- Ultra-high backend performance is needed from day one*
* The "Meteor does not scale" is a myth, but indeed its quite easy to write your app in a way that you'll have performance/scaling issues
