How does Ember Data manage large ammount of records?

I have been working with Ember Data and i'm trying to understand some concepts. I have a quite heavy data intensive app, my backend has endpoints that return a lot of records.

So, basically i have Route's that have something like this.store.findAll('places') which can return thousands of places having each one several text intensive fields like services or description. This is only one of the resources, there are a few more that handle that amount of data as well.

My main concern is that the app hits some kind of limit or becomes unresponsive. So my question is that: How does Ember Data manage large amount of records ? Is there any best practice to handle those kind of scenarios ?
