Fastest way to get a real backend onto AWS today is to let an agent write it. It declares what it needs in TypeScript, runs git push, and Encore provisions it in your own AWS account. A few cents in tokens and no Terraform, or console.

Feature showcase: automated preview environments When you build on Encore, every pull request gets its own cloud environment on real infrastructure, so reviewers can test the change against real data and verify migrations before it merges.

We’re hiring a small number of exceptional people, across engineering and go-to-market, to build backend infrastructure for humans and agents. We’ve grown more in the last few months than the previous four years combined, with thousands of developers building on Encore and billions of requests processed by applications running in production. If helping make this the default way teams build and ship in the cloud sounds like your kind of problem, link below.

Your framework's defaults shape what AI agents ship more than any prompt or library on top. If you're letting AI write your backend code in 2026, the framework you pick matters more than you think. Read more: encore.dev/blog/ai-benchm…

@encoredotdev Nice! Cool to see some real comparisons

You can now debug backend requests directly from your frontend. Drop a script tag into your app and get: - Traces for every API call, linked directly from your frontend - Backend logs for each request - One-click LLM prompts to debug any request with Encore MCP Works locally and in deployed environments.

@encoredotdev Awesome stuff! 💪

You can now add Redis to your Encore app with a few lines of TypeScript (or 1 prompt). When you deploy it via Encore Cloud, it becomes a fully managed ElastiCache / Memorystore instance in your own AWS/GCP.

Encore is now on the @cursor_ai Marketplace. The AI code editor, meets the backend framework built for it. Get started: cursor.com/marketplace/en…

@encoredotdev 🎉🎉🎉

We were surprised to find out that `.cursorignore`, `.claudeignore` and similar are all only "best effort" when it comes to not sending your secrets to model providers. So we wrote about it. encore.dev/blog/keeping-s…

We just hit 11,300 GitHub stars and we're giving away a full year of Claude Pro to celebrate! To enter the giveaway: - Star the repo: github.com/encoredev/enco… - Retweet this post We're building a world where infra, observability, and deployments are not your problem. Winner will be announced on Friday (30th of Jan).

You can now tell Leap to use @EffectTS_ in your apps. And it will.

🎉 Leap is live: the first AI developer agent that helps you build and deploy production-grade apps to your own cloud. No throw-away prototype apps. No BaaS vendor lock-in. Just fast iteration with full control over your code, infra, and architecture.
