I've been using Meteor since its release and its been great at making apps at maximum velocity.

You mentioned that some people are already scaling Meteor across multiple servers. Looking at it, round robin load balancing won't work given requests to a server seem to be stateful. How is that being done as of now? Do you guys have any guidance on how to do that?

Yes, if you're using DDP over sockjs instead of just over websockets (which Meteor currently does out of the box to support older browsers), you'll need to use a HTTP proxy with sticky session support.

This will be in the official docs at some point, but for now, Arunoda's blog post about this is a great starting point:
