“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
