Encore is a backend application framework and developer cloud that lets engineering teams build type-safe distributed systems in TypeScript (Encore.ts) and Go (Encore.go) using declarative Infrastructure from Code. Developers describe APIs, databases, Pub/Sub, object storage, caches, cron jobs, and secrets as typed code primitives; the framework provisions matching infrastructure locally with no Docker Compose, and Encore Cloud provisions equivalent managed resources in the customer's own AWS or GCP account. The platform ships built-in distributed tracing, a local development dashboard, auto-generated API docs and client SDKs, a Model Context Protocol server for AI agents, preview environments per pull request, and CI/CD — positioning Encore as an opinionated alternative to PaaS and a productivity layer on top of hyperscaler infrastructure.
