I've been using Ember in some capacity for 6+ years now I think. And have been using ember on about 5-8 different production-shipped projects (with Elixir backends) and it's been a great combination for our company from a tech standpoint.

The bigger issue has been finding contracting talent that's more affordable. Since there's a real dearth of talent in general (and freelance contractors) in the Ember world since the community is already so small, the few that are there are too expensive for us to hire for more than a couple week bursts.

I hope Octane helps bring more people to the Ember ecosystem and introduces more variance into the contractor rates, since I want to keep using Ember for future projects.
