Your cloud. Less DevOps.
Encore is a development platform that lets you deploy apps to your own AWS or Google Cloud without managing infrastructure.

Encore combines an open source SDK with a platform to automate infrastructure locally and in your cloud.
Encore SDK
Import the infrastructure your application needs in code. Run the system locally with encore run.
Encore Platform
Deploys your app and provisions its infrastructure. Configure each environment and monitor your services with built-in logs, metrics, and tracing.
AWS and Google Cloud
Everything runs in your own account, inside your VPC and compliance boundary, on standard cloud services you could manage yourself.
AWS
Google Cloud“What used to take days or weeks of back-and-forth between developers and infra teams is now automated and completed in minutes.”
Josef Sima, Engineering Director at Groupon
A workflow designed to make you and your agents faster. Without losing control.
Import the infrastructure
your app needs
Declare common application infrastructure in a few lines of code. The CLI runs it locally, and Encore’s platform provisions managed services in your cloud.
import { SQLDatabase } from "encore.dev/storage/sqldb";
const db = new SQLDatabase("orders", {
migrations: "./migrations",
});Test every feature end-to-end
in its own preview environment
Create a pull request and Encore sets up an isolated, temporary environment. Test integrations and complete workflows without other people’s changes breaking your tests.
Infrastructure is provisioned
in your cloud on deploy
Encore automatically provisions your app’s infrastructure in your AWS or Google Cloud account. You keep control of your VPC and compliance boundary.
Let developers self-serve
without losing control
Manage environment configuration centrally. Developers and agents work independently within approved policies.
Adopt Encore
without a platform rewrite
Start with one service, team, or project. Prove Encore in production alongside your existing stack, in your own VPC, then expand service by service.

"Encore is our foundation for all new development. Since adopting it, we've seen a 3x increase in development speed and 90% shorter project lead times."
Josef Sima · Engineering Director"Encore lets us go from idea to shipped product at least 3x faster and saves us hours of devops work every week."
Will · Co-founder"We've reduced time spent on DevOps by 95%, and we're now on track to save $60K annually in cloud costs."
Mason Stewart · CTO"Encore is an unfair advantage. At Pave we've moved 2x faster than we did at Monzo."
Simon Vans-Colina · CTO"We're saving $200k+ annually compared to additional hiring. The ROI is outstanding, easily 10x."
Daniel Stocks · CTO"You define infrastructure in your code and it's automatically spun up for you. You can go from zero to a deployed service on GCP in an hour. I don't know how else to do it."
Nilkanth Patel · CTO"Encore's inferred infrastructure has allowed us to move at unprecedented speed. Combined with database branching in Neon, we're able to spin ephemeral environments up and down with incredible ease. Stakeholders love preview app URLs."

Questions & Answers
Encore supports TypeScript and Go, with Python and Rust coming soon. Deploy to your own AWS or GCP account. Use any frontend framework, with a generated, type-safe API client to connect to your backend.
View DocumentationYes. Adopt Encore incrementally by converting individual services to the Encore SDK, one by one. You can also connect existing databases, buckets and topics instead of recreating them.
Read the migration guideEncore replaces the Terraform or Pulumi code you'd otherwise write for your application's infrastructure. You declare resources directly in your application code with Encore's SDK, and the platform provisions those resources in each environment.
You can start with new services while keeping your existing infrastructure and Terraform or Pulumi configuration. Encore can also deploy into an existing Kubernetes cluster.
Coming from an IaC toolUse it directly. Your application runs in your own cloud account, so you can call any AWS or GCP service from your code alongside the resources Encore manages. Nothing is walled off.
Yes. Encore provisions standard managed services in your own AWS or GCP account. You can scale that infrastructure as your application grows.
Your application has no runtime dependency on Encore's platform, and production traffic never passes through Encore.
Hundreds of companies, including large ones like Groupon and Coinbase, use Encore for production workloads.
Read customer storiesYou grant Encore access through an AWS IAM role or GCP service account, and can revoke that access at any time. Encore creates and updates the resources declared in your code. You can require admin approval before new resources are created, and deleting infrastructure requires your approval.
Developers and coding agents declare resources without receiving cloud credentials. You manage environment settings, including instance sizes and secrets, in Encore, with role-based access and an audit trail.
Enterprise customers can use just-in-time access, which grants deploy permissions only for the duration of each deployment.
Learn moreYour infrastructure stays in your AWS or GCP account, under your control. If you stop using Encore's platform, you can continue building and deploying your application with Encore's open source tools and your own CI/CD pipeline.
Learn about migrating awayYes. Your infrastructure runs in your own cloud account, so your cloud bill, and any credits on it, work as usual. Credits cover what you pay AWS or GCP, not the Encore plan fee.
