Meteor JS VS Koa

As you might have seen from this PR and in our forums Meteor v3(it is still in beta, but you can follow the progress here) will be released with a new engine, expressjs.

We are in the process of migrating documentation from the current site to the new one. You can follow the status in this PR, and the preview site is here. In the near future, we will move our guide to the same site.

We are in Meteor v3.0-alpha.19. To see what is missing for our beta and official release, you can check this GitHub discussion here.

Community stats: The Meteor.js GitHub repository has an active community with 43.8k stars and 5.4k forks.

Finally, the release of Node 16 became basically incompatible with fibers and thus, Meteor.js got stuck on Node 14. This implied a major rewrite of a large potion of the platform's internals as it all depended on fibers. Further, it implied that all Meteor.js projects and packages required a major rewrite as well.

So, I found this project to be at release 0.8.3, which is from June, 2014. The latest available documentation are the release 1.3 docs. The related 1.3 release is tagged on GitHub from 2016, so there is basically a gap of two years in between this.

Making the Meteor.user API clearer

You need to have Meteor installed on your system. Follow the Meteor installation instructions on the Meteor website.

Meteor.js is a full-stack JavaScript platform for developing modern web and mobile applications. Meteor includes a key set of technologies for building connected-client reactive applications, a build tool, and a curated set of packages from the Node.js and general JavaScript community.

Meteor.js is a full-stack platform that simplifies the development of web applications by providing a unified approach to building both the front-end and back-end. With real-time data updates, Meteor.js speeds up the development process and ensures you can create powerful applications.

Since "Express.js is an old framework that has not evolved for a long time. It's not a good choice for new projects since it can easily lead to security issues and memory leaks." -- H3. Which is also the case for Koa.

In this example, we're using the serverless framework to quickly set up the Lambda function along with an API gateway for the entry point. The lambda function is a simple Koa REST API with a few functional endpoints.

The initial step is to create our entry point, from where the page will be rendered. In this case, we will use the koa framework.

Koa.js: By the team behind Express, Koa.js utilized async/await for middleware, resulting in cleaner and more readable code.

Koa -Next Generation Node Microservice Framework

Backend is more tricky. - RESTful APIs I prefer Koajs - For a RPC/microsevice, I have only used gRPC - For a CLI, yargs and inquirer

There are lot of different frameworks out there. If you learn one, there is no guarantee that the next job you find will use the same. For example if you learn Express and the next one used Koa or Nest.

Koa.js is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application infrastruc­ture, which provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applica­tions. It is an open-source framework developed and maintained by the creators of Express.js, the most popular web framework for Node.js.
