Best Practices

• Background Jobs

  Learn how to have background jobs without affecting your connected users. Meteor is using Node.js on the server, and Node.js by default is single-threaded, or at least almost single-threaded except for things it defers to the OS. In a single-threaded environment like Node.js, if you perform long-running tasks in the same containers that you are processing your connected users' actions, they are going to compete using the event loop. This competition could cause many problems, like slowness orFew readers
