An open-source Trello-like kanban board built on the Meteor framework with real-time collaborative updates. Its standout trait is full-featured kanban functionality (swimlanes, WIP limits, automations) rivaling commercial tools.

⚙ Full Stack
Meteor.js application (Node.js with DDP real-time protocol) backed by MongoDB, using WebSocket-based reactive data subscriptions for live board updates across connected clients.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Meteor's DDP real-time layer makes horizontal scaling trickier than a typical stateless REST app — it requires sticky sessions or a shared oplog-tailing setup across MongoDB replicas, and the dated framework has less community momentum for solving this cleanly today.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Two-pod deploy: `wekan` app pod plus `mongodb.pod:27017`; Meteor's DDP/WebSocket protocol needs sticky sessions if you run multiple app replicas behind a load balancer, since client subscriptions are stateful per connection.
