Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
