Meteor’s Autopublish Package

If you create Meteor project from scratch(i.e using meteor create), it will automatically have the autopublish package enabled.

The goal of autopublish package is to make it very easy to start coding with Meteor, and it does this by automatically mirroring all the data from the server to client, thus taking care of publications and subscriptions for you.

Suppose you have a collection called ‘posts’ on the server. Thenautopublish will automatically send every post that it finds in the Mongo posts collection into a collection called ‘posts’ on the client (assuming there is one).

But there are obvious problems with having a complete copy of your app’s database cached on every user’s machine.

For this reason, autopublish is only appropriate when you are starting out, and haven’t yet thought about publications.

Once you remove autopublish , you’ll quickly realize that all your data has vanished from the client. Type

[cc lang=”javascript”]
meteor remove autopublish
[/cc]
An easy way to get it back is to simply duplicate what autopublish does, and publish a collection in its entirety. For example:
[cc lang=”javascript”]
Meteor.publish(‘allPosts’,function(){
returnPosts.find();
});
[/cc]

  • Federated vs Centralized Learning: The Battle for Privacy, Efficiency, and Scalability in AI

    The ever-expanding field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) relies heavily on data to train models. Traditionally, this data is centralized, aggregated, and processed in one location. However, with the emergence of privacy concerns, the need for decentralized systems has grown significantly. This is where Federated Learning (FL) steps in as a compelling […]

  • Federated Learning’s Growing Role in Natural Language Processing (NLP)

    Federated learning is gaining traction in one of the most exciting areas: Natural Language Processing (NLP). Predictive text models on your phone and virtual assistants like Google Assistant and Siri constantly learn from how you interact with them. Traditionally, your interactions (i.e., your text messages or voice commands) would need to be sent back to […]

  • What is Knowledge Distillation? Simplifying Complex Models for Faster Inference

    As AI models grow increasingly complex, deploying them in real-time applications becomes challenging due to their computational demands. Knowledge Distillation (KD) offers a solution by transferring knowledge from a large, complex model (the “teacher”) to a smaller, more efficient model (the “student”). This technique allows for significant reductions in model size and computational load without […]
