Meteor, or MeteorJS is an open-source real-time JavaScript framework written using Node.js. Meteor allows for rapid development and prototyping and produces cross-platform code. Giving your the cross platform flexibility making it possible to leverage one code base for desktop, iOS and Android applications.

Because Meteor use one language on the front end and back it end, it dramatically speeds development time and is great for rapid prototyping. Saving you cost and time plus Meteor make apps feel like top-tier web properties like Facebook or Twitter, or like a great desktop applications.

Meteor is a complete open source platform built in pure JavaScript, MeteorJS is a essentially a grouping of really slick javascript frameworks and tools assembled in one place. Making it easier for developer and dramatically speeding up development time.

Yes you heard right, Meteor supports both web and mobile using Apache Cordova, Meteor can also connect to devices, existing applications and IoT. Providing robust options.

Meteor is developed and maintained by the Meteor Development Group you can learn more about their mission and why they started Meteor here.

Definitely, Meteor has an amazing international community and over 6,635 open source Meteor packages.

Yes there are some amazing web and mobile applications here are just a few

Meteor has been getting lot’s of attention both from the developer community, journalist and top press sites. Here are some recommend articles:

• Meteor pulls JavaScript technologies together, Infoworld
• Meteor Is The App Platform For The New World Of Cloud-Client Computing, Forbes
• Open-source Meteor takes a huge $11.2M first round; will Andreessen Horowitz get the cash back?, Venturebeat
• Meteor Raises $20M To Build The One JavaScript Stack To Rule Them All, TechCrunch 

This is always one of the first questions asked with any new technology, I remember when Ruby on Rails started to get traction everyone was saying this or when Node.JS first came out.

Generally scaling a product isn’t about the tech but more how you build it and you mange your data.  I recommend reading the following articles about Scaling Meteor

• Does Meteor Scale?
• Scaling Meteor: The Challenges of Real-time Apps
• How to Scale Meteor?
• How To Scale A Meteor.js App

Like every tech, application, framework or tool it’s only as secure as developer makes it. You can check out the following which covers Meteor security

• Meteor security resources
• Meteor Security 201

There are lot’s of great Meteor packages and an amazing Meteor community, I have currently tested in production the following packages Common meteor packages I use in my apps and development

Yes, I’m an Official Meteor Partner

No I’m not a Meteor Prime Partner, while the “Prime Partner Program” might sound like it creates a difference between Meteor partners and selects the higher or more experienced partners it does not. The prime program is a pure ads system based on payment to Meteor Development Group, for $700 per month you become a “Prime Partner” and get preferred listing. While this might be worth it to some partners at this time I don’t believe it’s worth it nor reflects providers that have strong experience in Meteor. Looking at the current prime partners a number of them have very little experience in Meteor. I feel it’s just buying an ad to be at the top and has no merits as a service provider.
