Clayton has been building with Meteor since 2015 and is using it to solve genuinely complex problems: bank integrations, real-time transaction data, compliance at scale, and even machine learning — all on a 3-person dev team.In this conversation, we get into how they keep up with compliance without a dedicated security team, why they chose Meteor over raw Node.js, how they use Cursor and AI tools in their daily workflow, and what's coming in Meteor 3.5. Plus, Colten shares how the non-technical side of the team is now building with AI too, and it's working.
