My go to stack for personal projects is React Node Postgres, while Meteor looks great I just can't live without the sweet built in postgres features like trigger functions. I'm on the lookout for a rails like framework because right now I tend to code everything by hand. Will give it an honest try once they support MySQL or pgSQL.

Have a look at the phoenix framework, written in elixir. While there aren't that many drag'n'drop solutions available than in meteor, everything is rock solid, fast and fault tolerant. Oh, and it is very familiar for rails developers, while also having powerful channel abstractions (incl websockets, meteor's secret sauce), postgres as default, and native implementations of channels for ios/android clients.
