Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
