Here is a very fine blog posts series on scaling Meteor horizontally, please consider looking at it: https://meteorhacks.com/pro-meteor/

Interesting, thanks. In that first blog post it mentions that Meteor serves static files. Is that a requirement?

And you can use cloudflare or some other CDN very easily. See: https://meteorhacks.com/cloudflare-meets-meteor.html

No, it is not a requirement. Meteor also supports serving static files from a CDN.
