Meteor (web framework)

Having been in development for about eight months, Meteor was initially released in December 2011 under the name Skybreak. By April 2012, the framework was renamed Meteor and officially launched. During the next few months, and with the help of large investments from Andreessen Horowitz and endorsements from high-profile figures in the startup world, Galaxy, a cloud platform for operating and managing Meteor applications, and Kadira, a performance monitoring solution. Meteor has successfully monetized its userbase: In 2016, Meteor beat its own revenue goals by 30% by offering web hosting for Meteor apps through Galaxy. From 2016 the Meteor Development Group (the open source organisation powering Meteor) started working on a new backend layer based on GraphQL to gradually replace their pub/sub system, largely isolated in the whole node.js ecosystem: the Apollo framework. In October 2019, the Meteor.js open source framework and Galaxy Hosting Products were purchased by Tiny Capital and renamed Meteor Software. == Distributed Data Protocol ==

Distributed Data Protocol (or DDP) is a client–server protocol for querying and updating a server-side database and for synchronizing such updates among clients. It uses the publish–subscribe messaging pattern. It was created for use by the Meteor JavaScript framework. The DDP Specification is located on GitHub. == Blaze ==

Blaze is a front-end web framework that was first published on 27 March 2014 as a part of Meteor v0.8.0, replacing for the former Spark templating engine. It was split out from Meteor on 13 September 2016 at version v2.1.9. It contains the compiled templating system Spacebars, a variant of Handlebars. == Books ==
