## What it is
Meatier is a full-stack JavaScript web application framework that replicates Meteor's functionality using a modern, modular stack: RethinkDB, GraphQL, Redux, and React. It was designed as a flexible, non-monolithic alternative to Meteor.

## Use cases
- build a real-time web app without Meteor's monolithic structure
- replace Meteor with a modern React and Redux stack
- use GraphQL instead of MongoDB and Simple Schema for a full-stack app
- get Meteor-like reactivity with RethinkDB
- start a full-stack JavaScript project with code splitting and css-modules

## When to choose
- you want Meteor-style full-stack reactivity but with modern tooling like React, Redux, and GraphQL
- you need flexibility to swap databases instead of being tied to MongoDB
- you want a modular architecture with code splitting and css-modules support

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained framework - the project has been inactive since 2018
- you want a small, lightweight stack - the author admits it is overkill for small apps
- you prefer batteries-included simplicity over assembling your own stack

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, graphql, state-management, websocket, orm
- domain: web-development
- platform: -
- tags: meteor-alternative, react, redux, rethinkdb, boilerplate, javascript, nodejs
