Scalability of a Meteor app
meteor
Solution
Not sure if you mean apps built with 'meteor bundle' or apps deployed on the free hosting with 'meteor deploy'.
Apps deployed to the hosted servers with 'meteor deploy' do not yet have any guarantees or SLAs about scaling. However, the servers can handle a fair bit of load. meteor.com is hosted on meteor deploy, and it survived the Meteor launch.
A server bundle generated with 'meteor bundle' is basically a single process app. It is up to you wire it up to multiple instances, or however you want to implement auto-scaling.
Problem
Say your app gets hit with enough users to grind to a halt, does it fire up another instance? How do you plan to get around this in the future? Ian
