Leave the maze of complexity behind
Open Source
Backend Framework
Simple and type-safe microservices development
Infrastructure is a type-safe part of your app
Use the backend framework to define infrastructure semantics directly within your application code, removing the need for separate configuration tools like Terraform.
Encore parses your code to model the infrastructure requirements, ensuring end-to-end type-safety.
Higher state of (local) development
Faster development with hot reload and automatic local infra
Infrastructure namespaces for productive context switching
Built-in
Observability
Understand-ability

Finding Encore was the missing piece, we're on track to save $60k annually and our DevOps workload has dropped 95% for services migrated to Encore.
Before we might have spent days dealing with Terraform, with Encore we're done in less than an hour.

Lizza's backend team loves Encore! We've skipped the whole "hiring a DevOps team" thing and can concentrate on dishing out awesome new features to our users.

Using Encore is an unfair advantage. Imagine having a development platform as great as in Spotify or Monzo, from day one."

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

"Encore lets us go from idea to shipped product at least 3x faster and saves us hours of dev ops work every week. It's invaluable to have all of the tooling built for us out of the box."

to evolve
We have the answers
Yes. Encore is designed to work for both new projects and existing applications.
For new projects, sign up and create a new app.
For existing projects, you can incrementally adopt Encore by converting invidivual services to use Encore's SDK, one by one. Learn more in the migration guide.
Instead of writing separate config files, you declare infrastructure directly in your application code. Encore provisions everything automatically in each environment, so there are no Terraform configs or Pulumi stacks to maintain.
Learn moreEncore provides a 1:1 local development environment that mirrors your cloud setup. Run your entire backend locally with real multiple services, databases, Pub/Sub, and all other infrastructure using just one command.
Encore currently supports TypeScript and Go. Both languages provide the full feature set.
View DocumentationEncore is designed to avoid vendor lock-in. You deploy to your own cloud account (AWS or GCP), so you own and control your infrastructure.
If you decide to stop using Encore Cloud for infrastructure automation, you can keep using your existing infrastructure and set up your own CI/CD pipeline using Encore's Open Source tools.
