Meteor.js 3.4 wraps up the bundler overhaul. But we're not done.

What's next:

→ Node 24 support
→ Modern native (beyond Cordova)

The @meteor.com renaissance is just getting started.

Just published Meteor Detector!

A simple Chrome extension that tells you if a website is built with @meteor.com and shows its version. Useful for spotting Meteor apps in the wild.

Last month we migrated Galaxy and @meteor.com email lists to Brevo (formerly Sendinblue).

Last week we found out Brevo is using Meteor.

We picked them for features. Turns out we’re already connected. 🚀

Meteor builds used to be... slow. We all knew it.
Meteor 3.4 with Rspack: build times dropped 70%. Rebuilds are near-instant.
We measured it on the Galaxy app. It's real.
