Infrastructure that writes itself
Encore automatically provisions everything in your own AWS or GCP account, with sensible defaults you can configure through the dashboard.
Just code, commit, deploy.
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.
Learn moreHow 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.
View DocumentationWhat 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.
Learn about migrating away"Before Encore, deploying with Terraform was so frustrating. Something had always changed with our Kubernetes cluster and the deploy would break. Even for small changes, we'd often be stuck dealing with out of date Terraform state. With Encore, it's a headache I don't need to have."
Mason Stewart, CTO of Bookshop.org
A platform that keeps up with you, and your AI

Customer stories
"Encore is our foundation for all new development. Since adopting it, we've seen a 2-3x increase in development speed and 90% shorter project lead times."
"Encore lets us go from idea to shipped product at least 3x faster and saves us hours of devops work every week."
"We've reduced time spent on DevOps by 95%, and we're now on track to save $60K annually in cloud costs."
"Encore is an unfair advantage. At Pave we've moved 2x faster than we did at Monzo."
"We're saving $200k+ annually compared to additional hiring. The ROI is outstanding, easily 10x."
