Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
