See also derbyjs.com . Meteor didn't know how to rest before and didn't use npm, has it changed?

Answer 2

I apologize for dug up a mammoth)
At the moment, in my opinion, meteor can be completely used for production.
Of course, it is better to wait for version 1.0, but I practically did not find any problems in the current one that could prevent this from being implemented.
And yes, npm already supports it, there is enough documentation, rest can be done through the package.

Answer 3

I used it in a small project where it was necessary to put labels on a Google map in real time, the data was in mongo.
Killer feature: the data itself is forwarded to the front with a couple of lines of code.
Despite this, I’m not sure that I’ll ever return to Meteor: the documentation is rather poor, there are few examples, often you have to get into the source of the meteor to understand some things (for example, the file loading order).
I would not dare to do a big project on it.

Answer 4

We started a real project and development is going surprisingly fast, a working prototype on bootstrap took a total of 5 hours, along with setting up the environment, but this became possible only from version 0.9+ when children's sores completely disappeared.

Answer 5

The biggest problem with using Meteor was the lack of MySQL support. If you need a project with related tables in a database, then this framework is not for you.

Answer 6

The main problem with meteor is the negation of npm.
For this reason, the use of many ready-made modules is very difficult, one might even say impossible.
