I've been monitoring NPMJS for a few months now. Up until Feb 28th they had a very close handle on these packages and removed them in around 8 hours. We're seeing these packages stay online for a lot longer now (and the volume is much higher)
Thanks, we'll revisit this and check our comparison, we haven't used Meteor extensively so far, so we might have missed stuff. The reason we have that comparison section is that we get asked about this quite a lot, so we wanted to have a public statement on what we think the main differences are from similar products.
We're working on providing plugins for a wide range of components, so that you can switch couchbase, kafka or elastic for other, lighter products that you might have on your stack already
