Yes, and “meteor deploy” is still documented.

MDG definitely has a problem with communication.
I understand why they have to remove this feature, the way they manage it is just terrible.

We ran into some speed bumps editing Transmission 10! Hopefully it can come out on Monday.
Basically everyone is really hard at work trying to release Meteor 1.3.

Sorry about the issues in communication. We had expected a lot of the documentation to be updated through the release of Meteor 1.3, but our timing didn’t quite work out. We should have done better; I apologize and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Updated http://status.meteor.com/ as we start shutting down the free tier infrastructure today. As announced initially, Mongo databases can still be accessed until April 15, 2016 12pm PDT.

Fare thee well meteor.com free hosting - thank you so much for your wonderful years of hosting greatness. You will be remembered fondly, and missed dearly …

Server not found. Firefox can't find the server
This is an unfortunate way to deal with shutting down the hosting. I’d expect the “sorry, we’re shutting it down” message instead.
You guys stated that the silent majority of Meteor devs isn’t on the forums. You were right about it - when I tell people to read the details of the shut down on forum, they ask “what forum?”.
But outside of the forums, there wasn’t even a blog post on official website, though such a crucial information should be at the main page. So now the silent majority is coming to chats and asking why are some websites not working, because they weren’t notified about your announcement. Or they are asking what will happen to sites like Fastosphere, because the decision to move these websites to Galaxy wasn’t officially announced.
I know there were emails about the shut down (and it’s good that there were), but for many people they landed in spam folders, some aren’t checking the email, some registered from the email which they use only for registering etc.
see [forum post address] for details.```
That's an improvement, thanks!

But mLab free sandbox is only available with mongo 3.0x which is not working with meteor
Can you elaborate? I’m using a free mlab sandbox for my meteor project right now, and it seems to work just fine. Am I missing something?
Meteor works with Mongo 3.x just fine.

ok. Sorry for confusion then. I thought it has to be 2.6 when working with meteor.
examples are gone for http://handlebar-helpers.meteor.com/

Here’s another option for those of you looking for almost free hosting services.

With all the free/cheap and other options pop up after Meteor hosting shut down, it seems that in retrospective, it would be better choice for MDG to make new command instead of all this long story 
meteor deploy --location=galaxy
and a way to associate paid Galaxy account with Meteor account.
That sounds interesting @daishi but I don’t know why, being a free option, you have to provide you card details (like with Heroku).
Because Google, Heroku, and just about every other hosting provider out there wants to make sure it’s really easy for you to become a paying customer. Free hosting plans are carefully engineered gateway drugs … where the dealer already has your credit card …

It’s a shame because I really love Heroku and I’d like to continue with them with a professional plan but when you have to provide that kind of info on a free plan… doesn’t have too much sense to me.
