Encore Cloud free hosting
Free cloud development platform for AWS and GCP with automatic infrastructure provisioning.
Best for: cloud-native development on AWS or GCP
Encore Cloud offers a free development platform tailored for AWS and GCP, automating infrastructure provisioning directly from your application code. It supports TypeScript and Go, allowing developers to define infrastructure without switching contexts or writing separate config files. Encore automatically provisions resources like databases, Pub/Sub topics, and storage buckets in your own cloud account, ensuring you retain full control over your infrastructure.
Encore's local development environment mirrors your cloud setup, enabling you to run your entire backend locally with a single command. This includes multiple services, databases, and Pub/Sub, eliminating the need for Docker Compose or other local setup complexities. Encore also provides preview environments for every pull request, allowing for end-to-end testing before deployment. The platform is designed to avoid vendor lock-in, as you deploy to your own AWS or GCP account, and can migrate away from Encore Cloud using its open-source tools.
