Having implemented a similar concept using React (and Flummox), I'm curious how FastBoot solves the async data fetching problem; does it require the developer to be careful about how things are set up, or does a solution naturally fall out of how Ember works? Running what amounts to an event-loop once to get the HTML result wasn't that difficult, but ensuring that the app wasn't relying on said event-loop to render parts we needed out as HTML on the server was slightly annoying (but not insurmountable).

Ember has default model() hook for routes, and propose to add extra data fetching you need in children components into afterModel hook.

Everything is working just like you would set it up with React, except that with Ember declaring data dependencies on route is existing convention. And React gives you maybe a little bit more control around that.

> declaring data dependencies on route is existing convention

That makes sense, I believe that's exactly what react-async does (if I recall correctly?) with react-router.

For our project, we basically call "await ApiActions.getData(routeParams)" in the server's route, after pulling that params out, which is effectively the same idea, and it worked quite well. I'm curious how one would tackle that from a different perspective, but it seems we all end up coming to the same conclusion!
