Today, we're excited to share that Alexandre Chopin, the co-creator of Nuxt, has joined Encore as Head of Developer Relations.

Encore lets developers define services and infrastructure directly in application code. It runs that infrastructure locally and automates provisioning in cloud environments, giving developers and AI agents faster feedback loops and a safe path to production. Alexandre joins us to bring this way of building to more teams.

From Nuxt to Encore

Alexandre co-created Nuxt back in 2016 with the goal of removing the repetitive setup that came with every new Vue application. Much like Encore, Nuxt brought a recurring set of decisions under one set of conventions, giving developers a common foundation they could understand and extend as their application grew.

As agentic development becomes a larger part of how software is built, these primitives and conventions become even more important, giving agents a consistent way to work along with guardrails that make their output harder to get wrong and easier for developers to review and maintain.

Alexandre at Encore

As Head of Developer Relations, Alexandre will work with the developers and engineering teams building on Encore, and help shape the roadmap. We'd love to hear about your experience building infrastructure in the cloud, with or without agents, and what still gets in the way. You can reach Alexandre directly on X at @alexchopin_.

Welcome to Encore, Alexandre!

Encore's SDK, CLI and runtimes are open source on GitHub, and the quick start is the fastest way to get started.
