The Go backend framework that understands what you're creating.
Encore is a framework for building Go backends. Unlike traditional frameworks Encore uses static analysis to understand what you're creating and helps you along the way.

Features include:
- A state of the art developer experience with unmatched productivity
- Makes it super-easy to define services and APIs
- Adds compile time type-checking and auto-completion of your APIs
- Generates API docs and API clients for your app
- Instruments your app with distributed tracing, logs, and metrics – automatically
- Runs serverlessly on Encore's cloud, or deploys to your own favorite cloud
- Sets up a dedicated Preview Environments for your pull requests
- Supports flexible authentication
- Manages your databases and migrates them automatically

The code base is divided into several parts:
The encore command line interface. The encore background daemon
is located at cli/daemon and is responsible for managing processes,
setting up databases and talking with the Encore servers for operations like
fetching production logs.
The Encore Parser statically analyzes Encore apps to build up a model
of the application dubbed the Encore Syntax Tree (EST) that lives in
parser/est.
For speed the parser does not perform traditional type-checking; it does limited type-checking for enforcing Encore-specific rules but otherwise relies on the underlying Go compiler to perform type-checking as part of building the application.
The Encore Compiler rewrites the source code based on the parsed Encore Syntax Tree to create a fully functioning application. It rewrites API calls & API handlers, injects instrumentation and secret values, and more.
