About
Encore is an open-source backend framework that helps developers build reliable, scalable backend services with far less boilerplate and guesswork.
At its core, Encore lets you write backend logic as clean, idiomatic code while it automatically handles infrastructure concerns like API definitions, service discovery, configuration, and local-to-cloud parity. Instead of wiring everything manually, you describe your intent in code and Encore turns it into a production-ready backend.
Key ideas behind Encore:
Code-first APIs: Define services and endpoints directly in your programming language.
Built-in tooling: Local development, testing, and observability come out of the box.
Cloud-ready by default: Designed to scale without rewriting your architecture.
Developer-focused: Less YAML, fewer configs, more time spent on actual features.
Encore is fully open-source and backed by Encore, making it a solid choice for teams and solo developers who want modern backend power without the usual setup chaos.
