Local Development Dashboard
Built-in tools for simplicity and productivity
Encore provides an efficient local development workflow that automatically provisions local infrastructure and supports automated testing with dedicated test infrastructure.
The local environment also comes with a built-in Local Development Dashboard to simplify development and improve productivity. It has several features to help you design, develop, and debug your application:
- Service Catalog and API Explorer for easily making API calls to your local backend
- Distributed Tracing for simple and powerful debugging
- Automatic API Documentation for knowledge sharing and answering questions
- Encore Flow for visualizing your microservices architecture
All these features update in real-time as you make changes to your application.
To access the dashboard, start your Encore application with encore run and it opens automatically. You can also follow the link in your terminal:
$ encore run API Base URL: http://localhost:4000 Dev Dashboard URL: http://localhost:9400/hello-world-cgu2
