What's Encore, anyway?

Encore is the backend development platform that helps you escape the maze of complexity: no endless repetition of boilerplate, no infrastructure to worry about, and no reinventing the wheel.
Encore lets you build cloud backends with an incredible flowstate experience that unlocks each developer's creative potential and radically shifts how they spend their time: focusing on your product instead of on endless boilerplate.

Can I use Encore for existing projects?

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.

How does Encore compare to Terraform/Pulumi?

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.

How does local development work?

Encore 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.

What programming languages are supported?

Encore currently supports TypeScript and Go. Both languages provide the full feature set.

What about lock-in?

Encore 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.
