Hey everyone,
I’m curious to hear what people recommend for large-scale production apps these days. Anyone happily using Stream (getstream.io) for feeds? Any other recommendations?
And not to derail my own topic here, but bonus for anyone with a recommendation on an API for dealing with posting/loading comments.
Thanks a lot.
I’m just rolling with socialize packages:
I looked at getstream.io in the past and got inspired to build my own API. My recommendation is to build your own. If you need a “dumb” wall it is really easy. For relational data for more complex feeds you will need a good control of Meteor Grapher or MongoDB Aggregate, or Mongoose Aggregate and Populate.
The advantage of building your own is having full control of the algorithms, privacy and compliancy, specific ads logic and UX, own future development path, low cost over time, control over analytics.
I don’t think a “ready made” solution exists for a complex feeds system. They all “lock” you into a fixed framework.
