Encore

EmergingDeveloper Tools

Backend Development Platform

Open-source backend development platform that generates infrastructure and boilerplate from type-safe service definitions.

About

Encore is a Stockholm-based developer tools company that provides an open-source backend development framework that generates infrastructure configuration, API boilerplate, and deployment automation from type-annotated service definitions written in Go or TypeScript. Developers define services, APIs, databases, and queues using Encore's type-safe annotations, and the framework automatically creates the corresponding cloud infrastructure, generates API clients, provides a local development environment with a visual dashboard, and handles deployment to AWS or GCP. This approach eliminates most backend boilerplate and infrastructure code that typically consumes 30-50% of backend engineering time on non-business-logic concerns. Encore's automatic distributed tracing and request-level performance insights are built in by default, providing observability without additional configuration. Founded in 2021 by former Google and Spotify engineers, Encore raised funding from investors including Y Combinator and Crane Venture Partners, and has gained traction among backend engineers building new services who want to move faster without sacrificing production-readiness.
