Meteor Async Guide

From Meteor's documentation:

In Meteor, your server code runs in a single thread per request, not in the asynchronous callback style typical of Node. We find the linear execution model a better fit for the typical server code in a Meteor application.

This guide serves as a mini-tour of tools, trix and patterns that can be used to run async code in Meteor.
