MeteorJS - Goodbye to free hosting :(

Some time ago, Meteor announced the end of the free-hosting option, which is no surprise since maintaining an infrastructure and operation at no cost is unfeasible - you can see the announcement here.

With the migration deadline approaching (expected March 2017), the spirits are starting to rise, so I'm going to show you how to start a MeteorJS application in the Getup structure, which uses Docker and Kubernetes to run, scale, recover applications and a host of other things without you having to deal with servers and infrastructure. Focus on the application!

Let's go through the steps:

• If you don't have an account yet, create one at https://getupcloud.com/signup/ — there are R$ 100 in credits to start

• Create your first project (I recommend using the PRO / PERFORMANCE plan); if it is for development, you can go with the Basic plan. We have a very nice video explaining the difference here.

• Create a meteor application like in the GIF below:

• After clicking "Create", wait a few moments until the build and deploy process finishes and the container is started. Once ready, you can access it through the domain with the suffix getup.io.

Initially, the started application is Getup's example, but in step 4 you can provide the GIT repository where your code is. You can also edit this information later, as in the image below, by changing the application repository and generating a new build.

If your application uses mongoDB, we have a very complete documentation on its use and integration with your application at this link.

Since getting Meteor up and running is so simple, I'll leave as a tip a video I created about continuous integration using Jenkins, which you can use to integrate your repository with Getup and then make your builds automatic with every push.
