I still remember how hyped about Meteor me and my team were when it first came out. We built some PoCs and tested some really interesting concepts that were super easy to build in Meteor.
I insisted on staying away from it when building our main service, which had very high data throughput and near realtime requirements. I was very happy about this decision when we had to run away from Mongo due to some atrocious performance issues.
Anyway, some of the concepts and ideas that we prototyped in Meteor, we replicated in our stack (Redis pub/sub + websockets + jQuery) with a lot more work but with zero performance problems. We would have probably not came up with such concepts and ideas without having the chance to build them in Meteor in the first place.
