Has Meteor gotten better at scaling? When we were playing with it in 2016, we could get a couple thousand concurrent users before it would just barf and implode on itself.

Implode on itself? what does that mean?

We scaled meteor node horizontally and it's fine, it really depends on how you use it and how you cluster your nodes.

We were just playing with it to make some test apps and threw some traffic tester at a node. With one node, it just crashed after a certain number of users (well before the resources on the machine ran out).

My group wasn't playing with anything that could auto-scale it at the time. So if you're on AWS or some flavor of Kubernetes it's probably more fine now.
