"A typescript backend that just DELIVERS!."

4/5

What do you like best about Encore?

Encore's speed compared to Express is simply phenomenal. The performance boost I've experienced since switching has made a noticeable difference in my application's response times. API endpoints that used to take hundreds of milliseconds now respond in tens, creating a much snappier experience for users.

The type-safety that comes built-in with Encore has dramatically reduced runtime errors in production. Having TypeScript integration from the ground up, rather than bolted on as an afterthought, means the compiler catches issues before they ever reach users.

The framework's architectural guidance strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and structure. Encore encourages clean separation of concerns without forcing an overly rigid pattern, making codebases more maintainable as they grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Encore?

The developer experience can be challenging when you need to deviate from Encore's opinionated approach. While the framework excels at the standard path, customizing certain aspects requires more work than with more flexible alternatives.

Documentation, while improving, still has gaps when it comes to advanced use cases. I've found myself diving into source code more than I'd like when implementing complex features.

The smaller community compared to Express means fewer third-party plugins and resources. This occasionally means building custom solutions for problems that would have ready-made answers in more established ecosystems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Encore solving and how is that benefiting you?

Encore solves the infrastructure-code coupling problem that plagues many backend frameworks. By abstracting away deployment configurations and infrastructure setup, I spend significantly less time wrestling with DevOps tasks and more time delivering actual business value. This has accelerated our development cycles by at least 30%.

The framework addresses the challenge of microservice complexity without the overhead. Encore's service-oriented approach gives us the benefits of microservices (separation of concerns, independent scaling) while eliminating much of the distributed systems complexity. This has allowed our small team to build a sophisticated system that would have required more engineers with traditional approaches.

Encore tackles the inconsistency issues common in rapidly growing codebases. Its built-in standards for API definitions, error handling, and service communication create a uniform experience across our entire backend. This consistency makes onboarding new developers much faster and reduces the cognitive load when switching between different parts of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
