I'm new to Ember.js and trying to see if it fits me.
I'm building a web app where each user can signup and get into its member area. Then the app uses a Platform via RESTful API to provide user with context-specific features (i.e. create a shared folder, upload files, etc..)
The goal is to scale the app later on and deploy it onto different domains leveraging the power of the Platform.
At this point i'm looking for the framework to supply Ember.js with data and handle persistence (i.e. storing info on new users into database and sending corresponding API call to the Platform). The topics I'm concerned with are:
- what's the best way to manage authentication/session via Ember.js+backend?
- If i have to store the data in the database anyway, why would I use Ember.js and not just rely on features already provided by MVC frameworks written in Python/PHP?
Thanks in advance for any insights and/or references.
