Introduction


Octane is Ember's current edition.

The next edition, which is a work-in-progress, is called Polaris.

How do I migrate to Octane?

If you have an older app that you are trying to upgrade, there is a step by step guide in an earlier version of the Ember Guides.

If you are generating a new app, congratulations, you are already using Ember Octane! Follow the Quick start and Tutorials to get started writing your Ember app.

What is Ember Octane?

Octane, Ember's first Edition, was released in December 2019

Ember Octane introduced a programming model in Ember that brought major gains in productivity and performance, incrementally via a series of minor (non-breaking) releases. This allows for new apps to have the best features enabled automatically, while teams working on existing apps can migrate over time and continue updating their app's dependency versions.
