What is the equivalent of react context in glimmerjs?

Question

I've been using react for the past three years and just watched a few talks about ember and glimmer and got interested in glimmer. So excuse my ignorance if the question doesn't make sense.

What will be an equivalent of a global state / context in a glimmer app? What I'm looking for is a @tracked data which can be accessed deep in the component tree without passing it as argument at each level. Think redux without all those ceremonial action/action-creator/reducer.

A single global atom with bunch of functions to immutably modify it and re-actively see the change on the component tree.

Perhaps you are wanting to use services?

https://guides.emberjs.com/release/applications/services/

Services are app level state, and you can use 'injections' to get access to them deep in your component tree, similar to UseContext.

There is a section on global state / services / contexts

Note: Glimmer components are not the default component until ember 3.14
