Where to place Meteor-Apps?

I want to create a Meteor application to run a small side project / business. This means:

  • I want a cheap environment (online) to check and share my progress.
  • I want to be able to increase it in terms of production in a few months.
  • I want to use some standard command line tools to click on this service
  • Database options also scale if I need more

I started learning Heroku , but are there any “good practices” that anyone can recommend? I have never accepted a Meteor application, but I want to avoid a closed server due to administration, etc.

Meteor applications are immediately ready for deployment to Heroku. Your question is very broad, but Heroku corresponds to the score for each parameter that you specified.

Here's the thread for creating an example meteor application and deploying it:

$ meteor create --example leaderboard $ cd leaderboard $ git init . && git add . $ git commit -m "First commit" $ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/jordansissel/heroku-buildpack-meteor $ git push heroku master

There are several options:

  • Meteor.Com - the easiest option, free hosting from Meteor. Super easy deployments but limited resources until the Galaxy platform is complete. Not suitable for sites with very high load / traffic (for now).

  • Providers PaaS is the cloud hosting where you are responsible for your application, and the provider manages the infrastructure for you. Typically, small virtual machines hosting node applications with excellent deployment tools.

  • Own infrastructure - information about how to host on your servers or through IaaS providers such as Amazon AWS, Digital Ocean, Rackspace, etc. Most difficult option.

  • Deployment Services — Services for managing deployment to your own servers (or IaaS servers). The benefits of the foregoing, but with management that takes care of you (managed deployment, monitoring, etc.).
