non-relational, document oriented pubsub architecture based on MongoDB, good for not much more than chat apps. For toy apps (in 2012-2016) – use firebase (also for chat apps), for crud-spectrum and enterprise apps - use sql. And then React happened and consumed the entire spectrum of frontend architectures, bringing us to GraphQL, which didn't, but the hype wave left little oxygen remaining for anything else. (Even if it had, still Meteor was not better.)

I'm the defacto maintainer of the Meteor MySQL integration. Since 2015, I've been involved in the design and maintenance of six different Meteor webapps for real-time geospatial applications built for B2B and B2C.

Given this, I reject your assertion that Meteor is limited to MongoDB and "toy apps".
