Overview
Encore is a backend development engine that helps you build distributed systems and cloud backends faster using Go or TypeScript. It provides a framework with built-in support for microservices, APIs, databases, pub/sub, and cron jobs, along with automatic infrastructure provisioning. What makes Encore unique is its ability to understand your application's architecture from code and automatically generate infrastructure, API documentation, and architecture diagrams. The platform includes a local development environment that simulates cloud services, distributed tracing for debugging, and automatic API client generation. Encore can deploy to your own cloud (AWS, GCP) or its managed platform. With features like automatic database provisioning, built-in secrets management, and preview environments for each pull request, it streamlines the entire development workflow. Perfect for teams building microservices, event-driven systems, or backends that need to scale. Popular among Go developers and teams transitioning from monoliths to microservices. Combines the productivity of platforms like Vercel with the flexibility of traditional backends.
