Meteor JS Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• Reactive Clojure: You don't need a web framework, you need a web language
  news.ycombinator.com | 2021-09-23

  This reminds me of Meteor.js[0] from back in the day (2014?), which had a very similar approach—you wrote code that ran on both the frontend and the backend, and database updates were propagated automatically. It suffered from a pretty hard reliance on Mongodb and its own package manager (Atmosphere), and it was at odds with the rest of the JS ecosystem which was settling on NPM.

  This project looks very cool! I like the focus on composition, Meteor was lacking that (and really, most other frameworks do as well).

• Meteor 2.4 And New Meteor Installer
  dev.to | 2021-09-21

  This optimization opens the door for us to resume the work in Tree-shaking as huge libraries are not a big problem for us in development anymore and Tree-shaking can now be enabled only for production builds.

• Getting started with Node.js API
  dev.to | 2021-09-02

  This amazing framework will help you to build a robust Node.js API. It’s important to know that there are other options to take like Sails, Meteor, Happi, among others. In this case we will use Express which is the most used one but it doesn’t limit you to use other one. You can read the whole Express documentation here

  Meteor is well known for it's full-scale solution to rapidly create JavaScript applications with many flavors (SPA, PWA, Mobile native, Desktop website and more).

• NestJS: It's making me cry
  reddit.com/r/node | 2021-07-21

  My personal choice is Koa. I love it. If you want something more "out-of-the-box" and opinionated than Koa or Express, then there are a plenty - many built on top of express or using a similar APIs. Hapi, Feather, Meteor, Adonis, even Next. It really depends on what exactly you are building (API only? Static site? React server rendering?).

• Meteor 2.3 released!

• Using template engines or return data with JSON in ExpressJS?
  reddit.com/r/node | 2021-07-03

  I'm a professional front-end web developer & I'm looking for Node's frameworks that are opinionated, easy learning curve & provide many features out of the box. Sometimes, I have narrow my criteria down to Sails & Meteor. I think I'll go with Meteor. Do you have any feedback for me regarding this?

• What are some good PCs for a software engineering student.
  reddit.com/r/computer | 2021-06-22

  The requirements listed above are due to applications and frameworks we worked with in class, such as Meteor and Intellij IDEA. The requirement of having a laptop instead of a desktop PC is probably because classes used to be taught in person and that you're going to need a portable computer. I don't know if we really needed that much RAM for that class but you'll probably appreciate choosing it once you get to your upper division courses.

• Node.js Backend Development: Features, Benefits

  Meteor.js allows creating quality software with Node.js as it includes entrenched frontend frameworks. It provides dynamic imports, real-time features, great integration between frontend and backend, protection from hidden APIs;

• Totally stuck with listIndexes calls. Our volunteer social project building community migrated from Mlab to Mongo DB's Atlas in Nov and all our sites died. I've tried everything i can think to get the platform back up. Can anyone help or offer advice?
  reddit.com/r/mongodb | 2021-04-21

  Could this _ensureIndex be the problem? I think that may be calling into listIndexes here: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/2b18411d2f57e06d11262d5a308c56a9f561789e/lib/operations/db_ops.js#L305. IIRC, ensureIndex is deprecated, and you should use createIndex instead. I'm not familiar with meteor, so I'm not exactly sure what that code looks like, but the README shows how to access the underlying MongoDB driver directly: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/devel/packages/mongo#direct-access-to-npm-mongodb-api. Hope that helps!

• Don’t we all just want to use SQL on the front end?
  news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-15

  > we should have an SQL database in the frontend

  Although not SQL, this is essentially the approach Meteor takes where you have your same DB on the front and back end https://www.meteor.com/
