Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“The best GraphQL server for Node.js. Envelop plugin system and multi-runtime support (Bun, Deno, Workers).”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“If you're building a GraphQL API in Node.js, Yoga with Envelop plugins is the most maintainable approach.”
