Why not load-balancing the static resources as well?

[dotnetwise]

Think of a hot code push update. You have 1000 clients to be updated, but only use one server/core!!

Interesting question 👍

NodeJs is not a load balancing static content. So do meteor.

That's why we don't do. Cluster is main for DDP load balancing. For static
content, you can use a nginx in front of meteor.

But if your app is using a lot of static resources, you should use a CDN to
host those stuff. Cloudflare is the easiest way.

Hope this answers your question.

I use Amazon S3

So HotCode pushes of public folder (static resources) are being served via DDP, right?

Our app is not an website, so the initial load of the static resources is not an issue.
But rather is a cordova/mobile app hence, all the clients will get the static content via hot-code pushes.

They are pushed once to your server when you deploy but then served to your clients via the meteor internal HTTP server (based on Node), not DDP.

Yes. your meteor app is work just like it is.

So, how can we make use all the CPUS, rather than just one? (when downloading a hot-code-push)

I'm using meteor-cluster + meteor-up I wanted to ask if this is way has no conflicts? I will have no issues in adding clusters or scaling etc? I love your packages and just decided to use static landing page separated from meteor app and enable cloudflare for static content.

My mup server is on port 3333

1. cloudflare (like your guide with websockets off) for static content
2. nginx on my server to handle landing page on domain.com and app on cloud.domain.com here is the nginx file: http://pastebin.com/ne32i776 (is it fine?)

This setup is hopefully trouble free meteor-up with meteor-cluster meteor app?

Thanks!
