Since 2012
Our Story
Developers deserve better infrastructure. We're building it.
From Meteor to Galaxy
In 2012, we created Meteor.js, an open-source framework that made building real-time web applications in JavaScript simple. Meteor.js changed how developers thought about full-stack apps, and a global community quickly formed around it.
That community grew to 44.8K+ GitHub stars and 508,000+ unique installs. Over time, it became clear that developers needed more than a framework. They needed infrastructure they could trust.
In 2019, Tiny, the Canadian technology holding company behind Dribbble, Metalab, Serato, and other developer-focused businesses, acquired Meteor.js and Galaxy. Tiny's philosophy is simple: acquire great products, protect their culture, and give teams the autonomy to keep building. Under Tiny's stewardship, the Meteor team gained the stability and long-term support needed to invest in the platform's future.
With that backing, we expanded Galaxy from a cloud platform purpose-built for Meteor apps into a broader offering supporting Node.js, Python, and modern web applications, along with managed PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis.
Today, Galaxy is a comprehensive cloud platform where developers can focus on building great software instead of managing operations.
Backed by Tiny
Meteor Software is proudly part of the Tiny family. Tiny acquires and operates wonderful internet businesses, giving teams the autonomy and long-term support to keep building great products.
