Reviewer scorecard
“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
