Server is dying due to traffic. What can I do?

could i get nearly the same performance as a typical Node/Express website?

By the time I shipped a new version, the number of concurrent visitors for my app dropped to a lower level; so I can’t make a conclusive comparison between two stacks. But I don’t need an experiment to argue that having websockets is more resource constraining.

I think it’s important to think about the business aspect. If you are already heavily invested in one framework, does the benefit outweigh the cost of rewriting the app? You have to also think about the opportunity cost of learning a new technology.

also the website’s owners have a really close eye on the SEO stuff, so could this be a major drawback?

SEO can be done with Meteor. Flow Router has SSR (although not 100% yet), and Galaxy has prerender built in (so I heard). For React + Redux app, SEO is trivial because of easy server side rendering.

Thanks for the reply, i really appreciate the time you took to answer my questions. I’ll have your answers in consideration to make a decision. At this point i’m not fully convinced to go 100% with Meteor, so i’ll have a deep thought about it. Thanks!
