Open-source backend framework and CLI with a managed cloud that provisions infrastructure for agent-built code.

## Overview

Encore is an open-source backend framework and CLI, paired with a managed Encore Cloud that provisions infrastructure. It is positioned as infrastructure that coding agents build and deploy on, rather than as a software factory itself.

The framework, SDKs and CLI are open source under the MPL-2.0 license; Encore Cloud is closed source. Encore Cloud is free to start, Pro costs $49 per member per month plus $99 per cloud environment per month, and Enterprise is custom priced.
