Ember and Vite - How it works and what it unlocks

This year has been an exciting year for Ember, and the Embroider team has given us the ability to build an Ember app with Vite. That not only makes our build and rebuild times much faster than they were with ember-cli, but we can now integrate with other Vite plugins that don’t need to understand broccoli or the internals of Ember. This is a very new opportunity for the Ember community, and it is worth exploring the possibilities together.

Composing components with (and without) context

Scalable Frontend Architecture That Meets Your Business

Ember’s onboarding equips developers with framework knowledge about routes, components and services, required to build applications. Beyond that, Ember leaves a void on how you architect your products to meet your business and how to scale it up, when the need arises. This talk fills that gap.

Snack break

What is Ember’s pitch? – Open Discussion with Marco Otte-Witte

What makes Ember.js the right choice for certain types of projects, teams, or environments? And in which cases might other frameworks be a better fit? Clearly defining the types of teams and projects that are best suited for Ember, while acknowledging where other solutions may excel, helps the community more effectively advocate for its adoption.

Marco will start with a (potentially controversial) statement to open the conversation for the other on-stage panelists as well as the on-site audience in Dublin.

Marco has been working in web engineering for about 15 years and has used all kinds of technologies in projects of all kinds of sizes.
