The free tier has barely been working for weeks now

[gori]

Hey, the free tier, standard “meteor deploy” has been having issues for months - but the past few weeks it has really barely been working.

What is the status here? The past week it’s been around 50% uptime for me. Any word at all about what’s happening would be super, I’m getting questions about my broken site daily, so it’s super frustrating.

I would love to switch to Galaxy, but my faith in the platform isn’t super right now.

There are a whole bunch of topics on this matter.

The summary is be patient, we are working through it.

*.meteor.com (free tier) appears to now to be completely down

I’m jumping the gun a bit saying this, but we are literally days from wrapping up some major work on Galaxy that will make it possible to offer our production-quality hosting to everyone. We’ve been trying hard to keep our focus on that work, so much so that we dropped the ball on posting updates here about the legacy servers.

If I can ask, please just hang tight over the w/e while we get some last details sorted. It’s going to be a big improvement!

(Glasser wrote a forum post a few months back with more color on what goes into running O(100k) apps. Worth the read.)

Anybody else seeing Mongo failures on meteor.com hosted apps?

This is the official statement
