This document provides an overview of MeteorJS, an open source framework for building full-stack web, mobile, and desktop applications using JavaScript/TypeScript. It discusses how MeteorJS works by maintaining persistent connections between the client and server for reactive data updates. The document also highlights companies using MeteorJS, key statistics about its community and adoption, and features of Meteor Cloud for deploying MeteorJS applications with automatic scaling and monitoring.

● Works with both JavaScript and TypeScript
● Integrated to Zod for schema validation
● Provides functions for building E2E type-safe RPCs:
○ createMethod()
○ createPublication()
● For semantics you can use:
○ createMutation()
○ createQuery()
● Hooks to add custom logic to your methods and publications:
○ onBeforeResolve
○ onAfterResolve
○ onErrorResolve
● Provide safe methods by not bundling them in the client
