Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
