5. ⦿ Meteor. Meteor is a complete platform for building JavaScript apps. It's like the missing SDK for
JavaScript, bringing together everything you need to build great, modern experiences for both
mobile devices and the web.
⦿ Galaxy. If Meteor is what you need to build JavaScript apps, Galaxy is what you need to run and
manage them at scale on top of modern containerized infrastructure, with the same delightful
developer experience that you've come to expect from Meteor.
⦿ Community. The software is only half of the picture. The Meteor community is the other, equally
important half. We would be nowhere without your support in building, evangelizing, and
extending the platform. Meteor Development Group exists to serve and support you, so let us
know how we can help, and we will listen and do our very best.
