Encore

Encore is a development platform designed to help you build robust, type-safe distributed systems. It offers a high-performance backend framework with declarative infrastructure, making it easier to manage complex development tasks.

With Encore, you can create applications using a simple and efficient workflow. The platform provides open-source tools for local development, testing, and cloud infrastructure integration. It automates local infrastructure setup and provides a built-in local development dashboard with features like Tracing, Service Catalog, and API Explorer.

Encore supports both TypeScript and Go, allowing you to define resources like services, databases, and cron jobs as type-safe objects in your application code. This approach simplifies the process of defining infrastructure semantics, reducing the need for separate infrastructure configuration like Terraform.
