I was really amazed about's meteor.js features and ease of use, im really falling in love with it. I just wanted to know if you expert guys think it is stable enough for using it in production for a medium sized project.
Thanks for your advice!
Update Nov 2014:
Meteor 1.0 was just released, this is the first ready for production version finally, more on meteor check out this link
Meteor is a popular JavaScript web framework that did have a brief slowdown because of some changes inside the company. The framework is back in the game after some slowdown and can be seen having a bright future ahead of it.
The short answer is simple: yes, undoubtedly. Knowledge of the Meteor platform is the perfect addition to any developer's portfolio. If you primarily develop with JavaScript, the platform will help you or your company cut time expenditures on creating separate client and server projects.
Meteor, or MeteorJS, is a partly proprietary, mostly free and open-source isomorphic JavaScript web framework written using Node. js. Meteor allows for rapid prototyping and produces cross-platform (Android, iOS, Web) code.
However, instead of "meteor run" you will be building (meteor build) – your backend into a standard nodeJS app, and your mobile into a signed APK or IOS app. There have been rumors over the years that Meteor doesn't scale well. This has been largely disproved and can be overcome with various techniques.
6 months with Meteor has the best answer to this question I've found so far.
Here are a few excerpts:
Meteor can’t be used for all real-world apps just yet. Meteor doesn’t have server-side rendering yet, so it’s not ideal for sites that need to load very fast (like e-commerce sites) or work on underpowered devices (like older mobile phones).
...
So I would say right now Meteor will be a perfect choice for a few apps (anything that strongly depends on real-time interactions), a great choice for most of them, and a very bad one for a few specific cases.
It sounds like Meteor is definitely promising and particularly well-suited for real-time essential web apps, however it's not production ready for all web apps at the moment. At the time of writing this meteor is at version 0.7.0.1.
