Thanks @martineboh that’s quite neat. Do you know how well does it perform compared to Apollo in that particular realm, if I where to connect it postgresql or cassandra?
Define “many”. Tens, hundreds, thousands?
I wouldn’t be worried about MongoDB scalability, there are some quite large customers using it. It is a lot about optimizing your queries and indexes. Meteor can be a bit more challenging as it has more moving parts to be worried about, but you will have those same issues with any other solution once you get to scale.

Thanks for the reply @storyteller. Many == thousands of users and even more devices spamming data to our broker and the broker throwing it back at us. I agree with you completely in fact, I’m standing by that. The thing is, I have to convince my employer of that and I’m not as half as good a salesman as I am a software developer sadly! It’d be great to have something like a list of those “large customers” using a stack that includes Meteor. Maybe some that are using it with Grapher or Apollo to reassure my employer that this is a solution that better serves the requirements for our software.

There may be less of a need for a “Meteor vs Apollo” debate since the release of https://github.com/Swydo/ddp-apollo.
I’ve been trying it and like it so far, especially because you don’t need to run a separate server as you normally would need when using Apollo. You can simply re-write an existing Meteor app to use Apollo (after adding ddp-apollo and the other standard apollo packages) and it will just work.

If you search the forums you might even find other companies that use Meteor at scale.
Topics about scaling are also your friend. Like: Some scaling lessons I've learned growing to 120k+ users
Though it might be a bit more difficult to get names sometime as explained in Saas Mastermind Group by @thebarty via this:
