Open Source Framework for creating type-safe distributed systems with declarative infrastructure

Encore's open source backend frameworks Encore.ts and Encore.go enable you to define resources like services, databases, cron jobs, and Pub/Sub, as type-safe objects in your application code.

With the frameworks you only define infrastructure semantics — the things that matter to your application's behavior — not configuration for specific cloud services. Encore parses your application and builds a graph of both its logical architecture and its infrastructure requirements, it then automatically generates boilerplate and helps orchestrate the relevant infrastructure for each environment. This means the same application code can be used to run locally, test in preview environments, and deploy to cloud environments on e.g. AWS and GCP.

This often removes the need for separate infrastructure configuration like Terraform, increases standardization in both your codebase and infrastructure, and makes your application highly portable across cloud providers.

Encore is fully open source, there is no proprietary code running in your application.

Defining microservices and API endpoints is incredibly simple—with less than 10 lines of code, you can create a production-ready, deployable service.

If you want a Pub/Sub Topic, you declare it directly in your application code and Encore will integrate the infrastructure and generate the boilerplate code necessary. Encore supports the following Pub/Sub infrastructure:
