Automated Infrastructure for Humans and Agents

Encore automates infrastructure provisioning from development to production, eliminating Terraform PRs and DevOps handoffs. Developers and AI agents can build, validate, and deploy features instantly without infrastructure delays.

  • AI Agent Workflows: Define infrastructure needs directly in code for agents to execute and validate features
  • Preview Environments: Automatic temporary environments for each branch to test complete workflows without shared staging
  • Cloud-Native Deployments: Provisions infrastructure in your AWS or GCP account on merge, maintaining your cloud boundaries
  • Self-Service Governance: Centralized environment configuration with approved policies, reducing platform review bottlenecks
  • CLI-First Workflow: Install with curl -L https://encore.dev/install.sh | bash and scaffold apps in minutes

Tech / Self-Hosting
