Thank you @maxhodges for telling us about Bluemix. It looks like 1 instance with 512MB of memory is completely free each month. If there’s going to be no downtime or restarting then it looks more attractive than Galaxy Developer Edition.
IBM has been doing IT infrastructure for decades and serve some of the biggest companies in the world, so we can expect them to deliver a solid service.
I’m looking at the Bluemix pricing calculator page and it looks like there are a lot of extra things that are made available for free including monitoring and analytics.
In Bluemix a 250MB MongoDB database can be added to an app for free, though it’s listed as experimental at the moment.
hi there… wondeirng if folk have any more recent demos on how to install on bluemix. I see this article, https://medium.com/@guidouil/meteor-1-4-on-ibm-bluemix-f36aac93856f#.hkie4pnb9 but was looking for some more details on how do a more complex settings.json file vs trying to enter via Bluemix name/value pairs, which are a bit too simple.
You can use https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse to deploy to Bluemix using command cf push <app name on Bluemix> -b https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse.
I just put settings (name-value pairs) into the Environment Variables page of the app on Bluemix.
