Encore

Encore is a TypeScript backend framework designed to streamline the development and deployment of distributed systems. It allows developers to define services and infrastructure directly within application code, automating tasks like local provisioning, wiring, documentation generation, and observability setup. The framework integrates infrastructure as type-safe objects, eliminating the need for boilerplate like connection strings and simplifying interaction with databases, pub/sub, object storage, cron jobs, secrets, and caches. Encore is suitable for engineering teams looking to accelerate backend development, reduce DevOps overhead, and improve application performance. It supports deployment anywhere that uses Docker images via its open-source tools, and offers full automation for infrastructure and DevOps in AWS and GCP through Encore Cloud. The framework also facilitates turning functions into type-safe APIs with minimal code, supports microservices architecture, and is built on a multi-threaded Rust runtime for high performance, claiming to be significantly faster than other popular Node.js frameworks. It also integrates with AI development tools for enhanced code generation, standardization, and infrastructure automation.
