Interesting, I wonder how did they manage to comply with the MongoDB SSPL license?
I asked them and they answered:
Hello,
we are an official MongoDB partner (and I believe the only one for managed MongoDB in Europe). As thus, they validated our services and part of the pricing goes into licence fees to MongoDB Inc.
So, it seems like they’re cool and did their homework

The list is getting there.
Share the list with your colleagues and on twitter, like, and let us know if you to add something.
Really impressive package, how did I miss that, I recommend everyone to check out.
Here is a brief description:
Astronomy gives you a possibility to define a document’s schema that includes field definitions, helpers, methods, events, validators and many more. As a result, programming is much easier and the amount of code you have to write much smaller. But a picture is worth a thousand words, so let’s take a look at a simple example.
Thank you @ackzell for sure will add and I’ll move the list to Github soon to allow PRs.
And I like the teaser!
Edit: unfortunately I can’t edit this post anymore so I think it is time to move it to Github!
Also the Community newsletter keeps getting better, I encourage everyone using Meteor to subscribe to it, it is on point and has a very well selected topics.
With RAIX deprecating his packages, perhaps it would be worth mentioning activitree:push for the entire Push tech (web, cordova and server). I am testing now a new version that includes the now deprecated eventstate and eventemitter (raix) and latest versions on Firebase and Firebase-Admin (FCM). I’d love to see some contributions especially in the area of separating Push (notification API and tokens) to its own Mongo Database to leave the pipes open for the core of Meteor functions.
Yeah, I’m aware of it, but that list needs a major update though, I’ll see if I consolidate the two.
Perhaps we can have in the community site? I’m open to suggestions with respect to where to maintain/share this, whatever helps to give more visibility to the great work many folks are doing within the ecosystem.
In a typical production stack, one would use Nginx as the web server and Passenger as the application server. Passenger integrates with Nginx and manages the application and its resources.
For hosting, it is a solution that glues together several components usually needed for deployment. It has even load balancing (although I never needed to put it to prove itself).
Phusion servers the application, while nginx act as the web server.
The configuration becames “handy” because phusion integrates with nginx as module, and you can set definitions on sites-enables/my-app.conf files.
To be honest I love and using Phusion Passenger whenever possible.
It’s great extension to every nginx web-server out there. And I’d recommend it to every DevOp with no doubt.
But it has nothing to do with meteor (I know they had a special loader for meteor in the past to run non-build (dev) meteor apps), as they focus on many platforms and languages from node.js to Ruby, and latest release has become platform agnostic polyglot.
Saying that Phusion Passenger should find its place in awesome list for devops, not meteor.
I’m active Meteor-ecosystem contributor, and I got approved for GitHub Sponsors.
GitHub Sponsors services — would cover fees and other expenses, contributors would get exactly what you send, and you won’t waste a penny, — it’s a great way to support projects and maintainers you depend on!
Feel free to add the link to the list, and support your fellow meteor developer.
