Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
