Rebuilding Tumblr as a Single Page App
summary
Prototype rebuild of Tumblr becomes a working SPA: teams compare Ember and React, choose Ember after a faster setup and rich add-on ecosystem, ship an Ember-based prototype that renders post lists and offline-capable assets. Concrete tools include ember-liquid-fire, ember-simple-auth, ember-concurrency and an in-repo ember-data-actions; experiments run in a labs cadence (half a day/week). Operating scale claims: roughly 147 billion blog posts, 341 million blogs, ~35 million posts/day; networking latency motivates appcache/Service Worker and aggressive performance work.
