In the fourth episode of the Meteor Spotlight podcast, we chat with our friend James Sear, the co-founder of Avion!
With a combined experience of 20+ years of building digital products, Tim Ramage and James Sear recognized the inadequacy of online tooling available in user story mapping which led them to build Avion - an intuitive and user-focused story mapping tool with real-time capabilities. Meteor gave them the ability to create a fully real-time application with absolute ease.
To learn more about Avion, what they do, and how they're scaling with Meteor, tune into this episode! We cover everything from their tech stack, new features to come, and how they're scaling with Meteor.

In this episode of the Meteor Monthly Wrap-Up, we dive into the two major releases in the past month: Meteor Cloud and Meteor 2.0.
To kick it off, we discuss the specifics of Meteor Cloud and why we made the changes - which include:
The thought behind the Meteor Cloud design, layout and new UIThe return of the free plan and who it's meant forWhat the new Enterprise plan is and what that includesLogin/Sign-Up with GitHubThe important piece is to highlight the main reason for making these changes: the goal is to make the experience of using our different products (Galaxy Hosting, Meteor Cloud, and Atmosphere) integrated in an intuitive way for developers.
The other major driver was to make it easier for new Meteor developers to deploy their applications. Getting your app in production is such a key component to seeing the power of Meteor; to bring more developers to the platform, it was important for us to improve the experience. Enter the Free plan and the new shared MongoDB instance!
More information on Cloud can be found here. To get started with using Meteor Cloud for free, visit our site.
Next, we covered Meteor 2.0. Highlights include:
Hot Module Replacement (not just for React)cloud.meteor.com is built on Meteor 2.0!Meteor CreateFor more information on Meteor 2.0 and what's coming next, see our blog post.
If you love Meteor and the updates we've made, spread the word! Our community has been so great and we'll need your help to bring new developers building and deploying on with Meteor Cloud.
