Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
