Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
