I'm currently developing an application in meteor and I'm worried what might happen if a serious bug (or anything) crashes the web application. I have never worked on a production application, but I've read how downtime can seriously impact a business.

I searched and I found this answer: How to run Meteor forever? And is it good using 3rd party database?

The following link mostly answers my question using a node package called Forever which I've read is old and not an optimal solution for keeping node (in this case, meteor) running. Is nohup the best way? Are there any meteor packages or other ways to keep meteor running in the case of a crash?

Edit: I'm currently running Meteor on Fedora 22. I know there might be some open source solutions for this, but I'm not aware of them. Hopefully this might help anyone answer my question. Thanks!

  • is meteor production-ready? – blurfus Jun 24 '15 at 22:47
  • Looks like it is (despite the 0.X version number)... – blurfus Jun 24 '15 at 23:34
  • Meteor's latest version is 1.1. – Peter Derouen Jun 24 '15 at 23:54
  • Running an application in production is a big deal but it really depends on many variables. Are you hosting the server yourself? do you have to host it yourself or can someone on a cloud dot it for you? can you add redundancy or fail-over servers? Is the content of the application business critical? what are the consequences of having the server/app down for a few hours, days? How reliable do you want it to be? 99% uptime or 99.9999% (i.e. how many nines? the more nines you want, the more it costs). Too many things to consider for a quick answer. You should think PaaS or Platform as a Service – blurfus Jun 25 '15 at 00:06

It's simple as everything in Meteor. Just use Meteor up package for deployment and you are ready to go. Nothing scary.
