Cool idea and article.

Hot reloading deployed production applications is a really intriguing feature of meteor.

I'll bet something similar could be built if someone was using react and redux. Sort of like the local development hot reloading with react-transform-hmr, but running in production. This would make it automatic instead of requiring a browser reload and erasing the users current ui state. The trick would be in optimizing the performance. Using a websocket instead of polling would be a bit more efficient too.

Agree on all points. We don't automatically reload the browser though, so it's up to the user to actually get the new version, otherwise people would be very angry with us..

The main reason we did it this way, is that it is really really simple and quick to implement.

Thanks for the input!
