The Future of Data in Ember
summary
Builds a small app three ways and shows what each actually buys: plain fetch + service workers for offline caching; Ember Data for CRUD with adapters/serializers as it becomes faster, lighter-weight, and more modular; and Orbit via ember-orbit to queue failed requests, persist to IndexedDB, fork and merge stores, and retry until synced. Notes JSON:API’s move toward operations, cites 50+ server and 50+ client libraries, and demonstrates which upgrades required big rewrites and which can be incrementally adopted.
