Why EmberFire?

• Offically supported - Maintained by the Firebase team
• Ember Data Adapters - Cloud Firestore and Realtime Database adapters for Ember Data allow you to persist your models in Firebase
• Ember Services - firebase and firebase-app services allow direct access to the underlying Firebase SDK instance
• Realtime Bindings - Listen for realtime updates to your Firebase backed Ember Data models using the provided realtime-listener service or the RealtimeRouteMixin
• Authentication Providers - Integrate Firebase Authentication with your Ember application easily with providers for Ember Simple Auth and Torii
• Offline Enabled - Persist Ember Data models offline automatically with FirestoreAdapter
• Fastboot Compatible - Perform initial rendering and fetching of your models server-side to increase application performance
