Real-Time Messaging for Meteor With Meteor Streams

Messaging based, real-time communication to Meteor

This is 2013. If you are going to build a webapp, you must add real-time capabilities to the app. It is the standard. Meteor does a pretty good job at helping you to quickly build and make apps real-time. But meteor is tightly coupled with MongoDB and it is the only way to add real-time capabilities. Sometimes, this is overkill.

 

MongoDB is a perfect match for Meteor. But we don’t need to use MongoDB for all our real-time activities. For some problems, messaging based solutions work really well. It’s the same problem that pubnub and real-time.co are also addressing.

It would be great if we could have a hybrid approach to real-time, in Meteor, combining the MongoDB Collection based approach and a Messaging based approach. Thus Meteor Streams was born to add this messaging based, real-time communication to Meteor.
