if your project was capable of running as just a series of backend driven pages, Ember probably wasn't the right choice to start with. That isn't really what it is for.

Slack is generally very reliable. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first "real world" load test its status page has ever had.

Yep. It's still young and I've seen some (quickly fixed) bugs, but it's one of the coolest editor extensions I've ever seen.
