We've published benchmarks against most of these already, see https://github.com/encoredev/ts-benchmarks
eandre | 1 year ago | on: Using Rust in non-Rust servers to improve performance
I've published proper instructions for benchmarking Encore.ts now: https://github.com/encoredev/ts-benchmarks/blob/main/README..... Thanks!

Encore.ts is doing something similar for TypeScript backend frameworks, by moving most of the request/response lifecycle into Async Rust: https://encore.dev/blog/event-loops

Encore CEO here. Thanks for the feedback.
We sell developer productivity and devops automation, and compared to hiring additional engineers Encore is very cheap.
We’ve tried to align our incentives with the needs of our customers, so there are no usage-based or surprise fees when using Encore. The per-seat price may be higher but it’s transparent and predictable.

Thanks for the shoutout, happy to answer any questions about Encore if anyone's curious. (I'm the founder.)

If you like the concept but prefer Go over Rust for backends, check out Encore [1]. Disclosure: I'm one of the founders.

Author here, happy to answer any questions.
While some of the underlying functionality is based on Encore’s static analysis, the approach is quite general and can be adapted to lots of situations and programming languages. The overall code ended up being a couple hundred lines, not more.

Looks cool! How does it come up with different architectures when changing from one type of database (e.g.) to another?
eandre | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
This is one of the core use cases where Encore [1] really shines. It helps you get up and running really quickly by natively supporting common cloud infrastructure components (databases, Pub/Sub, caching, cron jobs, secrets management, etc), and a simple low-boilerplate way of defining APIs.
It automatically provides API docs, architecture diagrams, and infrastructure provisioning, based on static analysis of your code base.

AFAIK in Sweden you need a managing directory who is resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), not necessarily in Sweden.
eandre | 3 years ago | on: Swedish tech startups and scaleups
But you need a UK bank account, which requires a officer with a registered address in the UK. We were lucky our investors were UK-based otherwise it would have been a nightmare. Then you need to argue HMRC valuation discounts if you want to issue EMI options, which are only valid for 3 months, so you need to do it repeatedly. And then EMI option schemes are 15+ pages long contracts. Sweden has an equivalent stock option scheme that's ~2 pages, in comparison.
eandre | 3 years ago | on: Swedish tech startups and scaleups
We've set up a UK subsidiary so I can relate, but the process in Sweden was approximately 10x simpler: more automated, less bureaucracy, less ongoing admin work when the company is up and running.
As with all countries there are definitely things you need to learn. We relied on our lawyers to draft employment agreements because we were already using them as part of our seed fundraise. There are companies like Pocketlaw (https://pocketlaw.com) that provide solid, standard agreements that you could use.

Founder of Encore here (on the list). Great to see so many wonderful companies represented. Sweden is a great place to start a startup these days.

Oh, thanks very much for letting me know. We'll have a look.

The difficult with backend is dealing with state. It's easy enough to provide a simple experience when dealing with stateless frontends, backends are a very different story.
You're right that we need better tools. I'm the founder of Encore [1] which is all about bringing the simplicity of Vercel/Netlify to backend development. Not by substituting the backend for a BaaS but by building a developer experience hand-crafted for dealing with cloud infrastructure.
eandre | 3 years ago | on: GraphJin – GraphQL to SQL Compiler
I’ve been building [1] for the past few years and it’s pretty close to what you’re describing (and also does much more).
eandre | 3 years ago | on: TRPC: End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy
If you want a similar experience to this but more optimized for backend development using Go, I've been building https://github.com/encoredev/encore for the past few years!

We've been using sqlc for the past few months building Encore and it's an incredible tool. If it sounds useful I highly recommend checking it out at https://sqlc.dev.
