Meteor vs Vuetify: What are the differences?

# Introduction

Meteor and Vuetify are two popular tools in the world of web development. Here are the key differences between them:

1. **Architecture**: Meteor is a full-stack platform that provides an end-to-end solution for building web and mobile applications, including a built-in backend and frontend. On the other hand, Vuetify is a Material Design component framework for Vue.js, focusing primarily on the frontend aspect of development.

2. **Real-time capabilities**: Meteor has real-time capabilities built into its core, allowing for easy implementation of features like live data updates and instant messaging. Vuetify, on the other hand, does not offer built-in real-time capabilities and would require additional libraries or frameworks to achieve similar functionality.

3. **Performance**: Meteor has been criticized for its performance issues, especially with scaling large applications. On the contrary, Vuetify is known for its lightweight nature and high performance, making it a preferred choice for projects where speed and efficiency are crucial.

4. **Community and Ecosystem**: Meteor has a well-established community and ecosystem with a wide range of packages and resources available for developers. Vuetify, being a newer framework, also has a growing community but may have fewer resources compared to Meteor.

5. **Learning Curve**: Meteor provides a relatively straightforward learning curve for developers, especially those familiar with JavaScript. Vuetify, on the other hand, may have a steeper learning curve for beginners due to its focus on Material Design principles and Vue.js.

6. **Customization**: Vuetify offers a high level of customization through theming and styling options, allowing developers to create unique and personalized user interfaces. Meteor, while also customizable, may have limitations in terms of design flexibility compared to Vuetify.

In Summary, Meteor is a full-stack platform with real-time capabilities, while Vuetify is a lightweight Material Design framework with a focus on frontend development and customization.

Next.js is probably the most enjoyable React framework our team could have picked. The development is an extremely smooth process, the file structure is beautiful and organized, and the speed is no joke. Our work with Next.js comes out much faster than if it was built on pure React or frameworks alike. We were previously developing all of our projects in Meteor before making the switch. We left Meteor due to the slow compiler and website speed. We deploy all of our Next.js projects on Vercel.

This basically came down to two things: performance on compute-heavy tasks and a need for good tooling. We used to have a Meteor based Node.js application which worked great for RAD and getting a working prototype in a short time, but we felt pains trying to scale it, especially when doing anything involving crunching data, which Node sucks at. We also had bad experience with tooling support for doing large scale refactorings in Javascript compared to the best-in-class tools available for Java (IntelliJ). Given the heavy domain and very involved logic we wanted good tooling support to be able to do great refactorings that are just not possible in Javascript. Java is an old warhorse, but it performs fantastically and we have not regretted going down this route, avoiding "enterprise" smells and going as lightweight as we can, using Jdbi instead of Persistence API, a homegrown Actor Model library for massive concurrency, etc ...

What is Meteor?

A Meteor application is a mix of JavaScript that runs inside a client web browser, JavaScript that runs on the Meteor server inside a Node.js container, and all the supporting HTML fragments, CSS rules, and static assets.

What is Vuetify?

Vuetify is a component framework for Vue.js 2. It aims to provide clean, semantic and reusable components that make building your application a breeze. Vuetify utilizes Google's Material Design design pattern, taking cues from other popular frameworks such as Materialize.css, Material Design Lite, Semantic UI and Bootstrap 4.
