Thanks for creating this Arunoda! It's made tracking down bottlenecks in Meteor very easy. We were a bit concerned about how Meteor was going perform under load, but haven't run into any major issues so far.
Using Modulus.io, so haven't been able to enable oplog yet, but performance is still pretty decent. Several thousand active subscriptions on modest server without any issues whatsoever.
What a great addition to the Meteor ecosystem! Just one piece of feedback if I may: I looked at your pricing, realizing beforehand that a great majority of your target market will most likely have to come from individuals, small development shops or startups.
I was looking at your "Startup" plan features and pricing, and was wondering if you may want to reconsider this package. I read that one of the most important key performance metrics of an SaaS product (like Kadira) is "churn". I believe you can attract MORE customers and keep them if your "Startup" plan is packaged and priced attractively.
I want you guys to succeed, so here's my two-cents' worth or unsolicited advice for the Startup Package:
1. Offer Data Retention for 1 month (4 weeks)
2. Set the Price at $9.95 per month per host (remember, a customer will most likely have more than one host over the long-term if you can keep this customer)
This packaging/pricing also helps enhance the entire Meteor ecosystem. You also help small developers like us be better Meteor developers.
(As for the "Pro" package, have you thought about renaming it (perhaps "Enterprise")? To me, "Pro" means an individual developer.
Thanks, Arunoda, for another great contribution to the burgeoning Meteor ecosystem.
