Meteor Idle CPU utilization is high

help
1

I’m trying to set up my Meteor apps on AWS EB and I’ve successfully deployed 2. Weird thing is one of them is using 30% CPU when idle, as opposed to 0.3% on the other one.

Both are running METEOR@1.4.2.3, both are on t2.large EC2 instances. I previously had the apps on Galaxy without any issues (have to make the switch because we got a generous amount of credits from AWS)

The only difference is the app that’s idle at 30% has Meteor settings be loaded on startup and the other one doesn’t use any Meteor settings since it’s just used to connect to the DB and display info (as a microservice)

Are you using node 4.6.2?

AWS EB only let’s me use NodeVersion: [0.10.46, 0.10.48, 0.12.15, 0.12.17, 4.4.6, 4.6.1, 5.12.0, 6.2.2, 6.9.1]

Should I try it with 4.6.1? Right now it’s 6.9.1

Switching to node 4.6.1 did the trick, after looking at a different post in the forum, found many people having issues with Node 6+
