Encore Backend Platform

Build cloud backends with Encore's infrastructure-from-code approach. Define APIs, databases, pub/sub, and cron jobs in Go or TypeScript — Encore provisions the cloud resources automatically.

This skill helps you build backends with Encore, where your code IS your infrastructure. It generates typed API endpoints, SQL databases, Pub/Sub topics, cron jobs, and secrets — Encore automatically provisions the matching AWS/GCP resources, generates API clients, and provides built-in tracing and architecture diagrams.

When to use

Use when building cloud-native backends where you want infrastructure provisioned automatically from code, or when you need built-in distributed tracing and service catalog without manual setup.

Examples
