Encore

Encore is a development platform that automates cloud infrastructure provisioning for backend applications. It solves the problem of managing infrastructure separately from code by letting developers define infrastructure in TypeScript or Go, which is then automatically provisioned in local, preview, and production environments. The platform targets software developers and engineering teams at companies of all sizes, from startups to enterprises, who want to streamline their DevOps workflows. It is positioned as an alternative to Terraform and Pulumi, offering a code-first approach that integrates infrastructure into the development loop.
