This happened a little while ago, but I figured I ought to post it here. We (Qualia) raised $55 million in our Series C last month! We’re around 250 people these days and more than 15% of all US real estate transactions go through our software. Here’s a news article with more details.
We use vanilla Meteor (including Blaze) for all of our products, and the development velocity it provides has been a core competitive advantage. I hope the community finds our success reassuring evidence for the large scale viability of Meteor.
All hail Meteor!
P.S. We’re hiring full-stack software engineers in San Francisco. Here’s our jobs page.
Can you tell little about your server stack? How much resources does your app need, how scaling has been done act? How.many concurrent users your app can handle?
Congratulations! What a great piece of news and indeed a testament to Meteor (and Blaze!). I would second the idea of learning about the server stack (ahem, Meteor night!) Whatever you’re doing clearly works well. Maybe Qualia can start up a side business of Meteor-hosting that outdoes Galaxy, Nodechef, etc.
@veered congratulations on the amazing and impressive achievement!!
As such a large user of Meteor already and with your continuous growth, it would be great to hear what are the things you would want most to be improved with Meteor?
Would you mind sharing your take on the Meteor roadmap?
Thanks for sharing your Meteor success story … things like this help to reshape the opinion of Meteor in the mind of the public and builds a level of excitement among the users who have stuck with Meteor and those who are new to it
@alimgafar I’m planning on being in NYC in the not so distant future, so I’m definitely interested. I’d like to take a community poll to see what I ought to talk about, rather than choosing a topic on my own.
@Urigo I haven’t had a chance to look through the whole thing in detail, but it’s reassuring that so much feedback from the community has been integrated into the roadmap. My primary concern is making sure that we can all coordinate to get the work done, since most of the features are being led by people outside of MDG. It’s doable, but different than how things have operated historically.
@imhazige We are only hiring for onsite positions (in SF), but we can help with relocation and immigration!
@iirokak I’d like to post a longer answer at some point, but here are 3 (somewhat out of date) Meteor Night talks from people at Qualia:
