If you’re creating a new meteor app, you could try my scaffolding tool (Maka-cli):
Nodechef (https://www.nodechef.com/) has been working great for us. It was appealing when we started because they offer mongo dbs rather than needing external db hosting. Deploying with their CLI is literally nc deploy
and then the magic happens.
Pros are: ease of use, db hosting, dashboard utilities to see/modify servers/containers.
Cons: really, just price. It’s about $60/month for a basic setup.
Curious if anyone else has experience with Nodechef and has pros/cons or better alternatives.
Just wanted to add that while I really liked Galaxy (ease of use mostly), having an external db really caused db performance issues for me. Moving to nodechef saw performance almost identical to what I see on my local machine, and significantly enhanced my users’ experiences. I’m on the lowest tier at nodechef so $9/month right now.
