Meteor's hosting platform will be optimized for websocket-oriented always-connected applications, with monitoring/auto-scaling features for that sort of app.

Hmm, I didn't know that apps that use websockets needed a different kind of auto-scaling and monitoring.

That's interesting. Thanks!

Yep, that's... interesting. For sure real time web application needs better reactivity when scaling up and down. But you can already achieve this kind of reaction time on existing platforms that uses Docker for example (disclaimer: I'm working on the Scalingo PaaS that already supports MeteorJS app, see https://scalingo.com/meteorjs-hosting).

Meteor's solution will also use containerization: http://info.meteor.com/blog/meteor-and-a-galaxy-of-container...
