We’ve been listening to the community for a long time, and today we’re excited to share what’s coming in Meteor 4.0.
Meteor is dropping MongoDB in favor of Semantic Memory.
After years of schema debates, migration headaches, and oplog nightmares, we made a decision: databases are over. Meteor 4.0 ships with a built-in AI layer that stores your data as semantic embeddings. No collections. No documents. No queries. You just describe what you need and the framework figures it out.
Meteor.remember(“the user’s last order”), that’s your new data layer.
Meteor 4.0 ships with first-class PHP support.
We know. We know. But the data doesn’t lie: PHP powers 77% of the web, and we’re not here to fight the market. You’ll be able to write your Meteor methods in PHP with full DDP compatibility.
jQuery Legacy Mode is back
By popular demand, Meteor 4.0 ships with a meteor add jquery@1.x official package. Blaze + jQuery 1.11 is a stack that simply works, and we’re done pretending otherwise.
Migration guide and beta release: April 1st.
