MeteorJS Alternatives: Latency Compensation Frameworks and Libraries?

Question

Effort: I am building a word game based on a chat web-client where I need to make a server call on input chat text to validate it before broadcasting on the chat.

I am aware of Meteor providing latency compensation out of the box. But given its still in "early preview" makes me seek other alternatives.

What I tried: Unfortunately my web search for "latency compensation framework library" doesn't yield anything other than Meteor (including non-personalized results).

Question: Are there any other alternatives that provide latency compensation -or- can make the job easier? I am hoping other developers might have encountered something useful/relevant.

Answer 1

RethinkDB uses term 'latency compensation'.
I've also tried to gather per-feature alternatives to Meteor

Answer 2

Although Meteor is in 'early preview', its code is very close production ready and a lot of startups and other early adopters are using it for production-level code. You aren't going to find anything that gives you wings like Meteor because no such alternative exists.

As a hardcore Meteor convert and someone who's used many other frameworks, I recommend you to just try Meteor out. As they say, it only takes a weekend for you to build an app in Meteor and decide whether it's right for you.

Having said that, I will attempt to answer the question and list the distant-second alternatives to Meteor that you probably won't want to use:

• Derby
• Sails

What you're seeing right now in the various real-time full-stack Javascript web frameworks is the future of Web development, cutting down dozens of people and thousands of man-hours of work needed to develop a software project. There are some fast boats sailing that are leaving server-side rendering behind, and you should probably just get in one of them and get going.

Meteor is a really cool framework. you can build the complex data driven application very easily using meteor.
But, this framework currently supports only the MongoDB as back-end database.
I have recently created full stack framework called Nooljs which is similar to the Meteor. Now I have open sourced it. It support all the database connections including MySql, ms-sql, and MongoDB. The complex data driven application can be created easily using this framework. This has been developed using well known existing framework such as Angularjs, Node, express-js, and socket-io. Easy to build complex data driven JavaScript applications with minimum coding. Support multiple data connections suck as Ms-sql, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Mondodb.

• Real time framework build top of Express-js and Socket-io

• The client side is powered by the Angularjs.

• The layout can be build using the Angularjs tags and elements.

• Modularized layout to simplify the complex web pages.

• Can be mixed both Express-js and Socket-io
