Going realtime with Ember
summary
Nomad’s web UI becomes live by implementing long polling with monotonic index over the existing HTTP API, built in ~three months using Ember Data adapter overrides, a watch-list service to track indices, custom reloadRelationship and stale-record removal logic, and ember-concurrency tasks for cancellable polling loops. Browser connection limits force explicit XHR cancellation and abort-error handling. The result is globally updating pages (deployed in the Nomad UI repo via an open PR) and a tested, working realtime layer.
