Haha. We're not trying to replace Ops, just prevent teams from needing to build internal platforms before they can ship product. You can still modify all the provisioned infra directly in AWS/GCP console, or layer Terraform on top

Encore uses sensible defaults optimized for cost and performance (eg. reasonable instance sizes, log retention periods, backup schedules), but you have full control to modify anything. You can adjust configs per environment through the Enco

Ah, been a while since I looked into it. Thanks for the correction!

We provide client abstractions for infrastructure primitives (databases, pub/sub, object storage, etc.). Your application code uses these abstractions, and the actual infrastructure configuration is injected at runtime based on the env

Encore (the framework and CLI) is fully open source and free to use. You can deploy anywhere by generating Docker images with `encore build docker`. Encore Cloud (optional managed platform) has a generous free tier and paid plans for produc

You can just use the resource as you'd normally would and then use e.g. secrets to define the connection settings per environment. You would however need to provision the resource yourself for all your envs. We have a terraform plugin

I'd argue it's the opposite of coupling. Your application code references logical resources (database connection, pub/sub topic, bucket) without knowing anything about the underlying infrastructure. Encore extracts these need

SST is AWS-specific and focuses on infrastructure-as-code for serverless apps (CDK wrapper). Encore is cloud-agnostic and works by parsing your application code to understand what infrastructure you need, then provisions it automatically on

I haven't heard about Alchemy before, but from skimming their docs it looks like Terraform/Pulumi in code form where you explicitly configure infrastructure. Whereas with Encore, you define what you need directly in your applicati

1. You can configure your services to be cohosted on computes, and each environment can be configured independently. Encore also provides free hosting through Encore Cloud Hosting 2. The `encore run` command automatically starts local emula

Different scope. NestJS organizes app code, Effect does functional composition - both still need separate infra tooling. Encore handles services + infrastructure + deployment as one thing. You could use Effect/NestJS patterns inside En

Good question! With Encore, your application code is actually more portable than with Terraform because you are defining infrastructure semantically (eg. "I need a Postgres database"), not with cloud-specific config. The same code

That's for request handling overhead. Real-world speedup depends on your bottleneck (DB, external APIs, etc.), but the gains still apply. Good feedback though, and we have more benchmarks planned regardless.

The app in question uses LLMs to analyze golf swings from recorded videos. Users were still getting their analysis (which can saved to your photo gallery), it's just that the data wasn't being stored as part of the users account.

I left it purposefully broad, but agreed - I can see it going that way too.

Spot on. The best abstractions are the ones that make the complex parts invisible. We've been building for ourselves for so long that we forgot most people just want to solve problems, not learn our entire stack.

Sorry about that - haven't tested light mode at all. Disabled it, should be readable now.
