Here is a pretty neat demo with tons of live updates from a firebase cluster: https://dbmonster.firebaseapp.com/

Glimmer is a revolutionary improvement in Ember's rendering performance. I'm incredibly excited by the progress and promise being realized in Tom and Yehuda's PR.

For more context, here are a few quick slides from the EmberConf keynote:

They, and the PR, tell the whole story about what is happening in the dbmonster demo. We expect this work to land in Ember 1.13 stable!

This is simply incredible. That's some insane rendering performance coming out of this.

Indeed, that is pulling some serious update info at an insane speed.

Gotta say, the incremental improvement pattern Ember is adhering to is absolutely the bee's knees. Kudos Ember team, so awesome to see!

Can we have a side-by-side comparison of the same demo using normal Ember?

It's slow. Real slow. The original demo really stressed Ember's pathological cases, so it was a great thing to keep in mind as we developed Glimmer.
