Encore

Backend development platform with automatic infrastructure

FreemiumFree TierAdded Mar 1, 2021

About

Encore is a backend development platform that lets you define infrastructure (databases, caches, cron jobs, pub/sub) directly in your application code using a type-safe framework. Encore then automatically provisions and manages the cloud infrastructure on AWS or GCP. It includes local development with tracing, auto-generated API documentation, preview environments per PR, and built-in service catalog. Available for Go and TypeScript, Encore eliminates the gap between writing code and deploying infrastructure.

Origin Story

By André Eriksson

The Problem

Backend developers spend more time on infrastructure configuration than writing business logic.

Building It

Founded 2020, launched Go and TypeScript support. Growing among startups tired of infrastructure complexity.

What It Means

Proves that infrastructure can be inferred from application code rather than configured separately.

The Dream

Let backend developers focus entirely on business logic while infrastructure manages itself.
