On: Why Meteor will kill Ruby on Rails

[qiqing]

Z-mongo-admin, the Meteor equivalent of phpMyAdmin, was a project that won a prize at the Meteor hackathon earlier this year. [1] Here's one of its authors, Geoffrey Vedernikoff, speaking at HackMIT. [2] Perhaps you could compare notes with the team to see what's going wrong in your version.

I'm sure his project worked, too, it just didn't scale.

This is true. In the Q&A of this video [1], the creator of Z Mongo Admin mentions that the browser will hang if the collections are huge.

Speaking as the author of Z Mongo Admin, it's mainly because we haven't implemented pagination yet. Can't be too hard to add {limit: 20} to the queries though.

So do you do you think Meteor can scale? I don't know if I'm following, but I'm assuming limiting the queries(?) means limiting the size.
