Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
