Meteor Alternatives

Meteor is described as 'Set of new technologies for building top-quality web apps in a fraction of the time. It is built around Smart Packages: little bundles of code that can run on a client, inside a cloud service, or both, and that can manage their lifetime inside the modern distributed' and is a Web Framework in the development category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Meteor for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Web-based and Self-Hosted apps. The best Meteor alternative is Ruby on Rails, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Meteor are Express, FeathersJS, GUN and Derby.
