Update support for Meteor 1.4.4.3/Node 4.8.3 #7

Closed myktra closed 7 years ago

myktra commented 7 years ago

Have noticed that a Meteor application recently updated from 1.4.3.2 to 1.4.4.3 in a low memory environment (t2.micro) seems to "hang" much more quickly than before (within hours vs. weeks). Will consider using NODE_OPTIONS to tweak garbage collection rules, but would it also make sense to update this image to support Node 4.8.3 to take advantage of recent fixes?

Using with Meteor Up (zodern's latest version).

You can use the latest node-4.8.4* or node-4.8.6* tags with any Meteor 1.4.x version, but I doubt you'll see any considerable memory improvements until Node.js 8, which ships with Meteor 1.6. The newer versions of V8 included in Node.js 8 have a lot of garbage collection and efficiency improvements!
