Encore

Encore is a developer platform that replaces traditional Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform by letting developers and AI agents define and provision cloud infrastructure directly within their application code, using TypeScript or Go. It enables real local development mirroring production, provides automatic provisioning to AWS or GCP, and comes with built-in tools for preview environments, distributed tracing, architecture diagrams, and a real-time service catalog. Encore is designed for both new and existing projects, minimizing DevOps overhead and removing the need to manage separate IaC files, while ensuring no vendor lock-in since infrastructure is always deployed to the user's own cloud account.
