Answer 1

At the moment from what they're saying on the meteor-talk group, there aren't any enforced limits of any sort. Your app just sort of scales itself alongside all the others hosted there.

There is only one thing though, if your app isn't used/has no visits for a few consecutive hours its 'killed'. When someone visits it next time its put back up (of course the end user wont notice this, to them its as if it were up all along)

But what it means is background processes that you use/cron type tasks don't work well because the meteor deploy server will kill your app's task silently until the next web request comes along.

Interesting, can you give a citation for that? – Grodno

The meteor-talk link I referenced has info on the no-strict limits. For the meteor killing apps behind the scenes see your logs via meteor logs xx.meteor.com or groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/0LcW-dzJtzU by the core devs – Danaides

so i can create my own big apps on meteor.com how about like youtube or 9gag, so every users can upload big size file to my meteor apps? – Howdy

As with before they haven't given strict limits of any sort but if you use alot/use it in an abusive manner they'll likely get in touch with you @Howdy – Danaides

"When someone visits it next time its put back up (of course the end user wont notice this, to them its as if it were up all along)" -- this doesn't seem to be true anymore; when I return to my test app after a long while, I get a splash page saying the app is winding up again, so the user will definitely notice this. – Disburse
