ember-rails is a Ruby gem that is actually used in Discourse.

Discourse staffers are far better to comment, but broadly, EmberJS deals with the front-end, and Ruby-on-Rails, the back end. Of course, Discourse has elements of a bespoke architecture and the exact configuration is, like any big application, at least somewhat unique.

A nice description of the way things work is here [Creating Routes in Discourse and Showing Data](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-routes-in-discourse-and-showing-data/48827)

The API docs are here [https://docs.discourse.org](https://docs.discourse.org)
