Meteor is great, I can't create a web app with other stacks faster than with Meteor.

My record was saving the day with a demo in less than 1 hour.

I'm glad is more mature.

The only thing I miss is Postgres as alternative to MongoDB.

Mongo is really comfortable but some projects needs Postgres badassness.

Should be doable for Meteor's team since Postgres is now super friendly to JSON. I guess the main challenge is in the SQL support because is a beast in itself. But starting small with a MiniSQL API at the frontend would be totally fine.



+1 vote for a relational alternative. I am a fan of NoSQL, and I am a fan of Mongo, but I'd love to have the power of Meteor with a relational backend too.



You can track some of the SQL progress on the Meteor Development Group's Trello card for SQL support:

I'm actually trying to do something very similar. I'm considering using StrongLoop for a super simple API and connecting Meteor to that.

anyone tried something similar?
