Make infrastructure a type-safe part of your application

Encore's Open Source Infrastructure SDK lets you declare infrastructure as objects directly in your application code.

Encore parses your code to understand the infrastructure requirements, then automatically sets up your local dev environment, and cloud environments on AWS/GCP.

Forget IaC, YAML, and the usual headaches.

Higher state of (local) development

Simple and type-safe microservices development

Define and call APIs like normal functions, with full type-safety and auto-complete in your IDE. Encore generates the protocol communication boilerplate automatically.

Iterate faster with hot-reload and automatic local infra

encore run starts your local environment, including infrastructure and observability. Gain confidence quickly with automated testing on dedicated test infrastructure.

Next-generation local development tools

Encore's local dev dashboard speeds up your development by providing built-in Distributed Tracing, Test Tracing, and API Documentation.

Infrastructure namespaces for productive context switching

Seamlessly switch branches using local infrastructure namespaces to keep your state and changes intact.

Enjoy every deploy

DevOps automation for your cloud on AWS/GCP

Encore's Cloud Platform provides a seamless workflow with CI/CD, testing, and automatic infrastructure provisioning in your cloud on AWS/GCP.

As your application code is the source of truth for infrastructure requirements, Encore automatically ensures your environments stay in sync.

Finding Encore was the missing piece — our DevOps workload has dropped 90% for services migrated to Encore.

Before we might have spent a whole day dealing with Terraform, Kubernetes, ingress, etc. With Encore we're done in less than an hour.

Encore solved our platform-related problems and saved us weeks of work on DevOps. We can focus on the real product and react to customer feedback within hours.

David Mytton
CEO, Console.dev

The local development is awesome, I just run 'encore run' and then I have locally what we actually have in production.
