Orbit : Ember Dat :: Glim :
ember data can provide orbit's capabilites in a convention-driven package
orbit and its ecosystem can provide a laboratory for experimentation
"The Future"
GraphQL usage will continue to grow. Apollo will continue to
innovate.
REST+ solutions, like JSON:API 1.1, will also grow.
The operations primitive will be adopted across the stack.
Static analysis will improve runtime efficiency.
Immutable data structures will see increased internal usage.
Demand for offline PWAs will grow in order to compete
with native apps.
Orbit will see continued growth across the frontend and in
Node.
You will be able to incrementally adopt new capabilities in
your application as you need them.
