Encore For Go Streamlining Cloud Development and Deployment (Continued) Salman Shah, Smartsheet

Built a demo application showcasing Encore development workflow with API services, queues and databases

Encore provides local development environment with built-in tracing, debugging and deployment capabilities without manual infrastructure setup

Supports PostgreSQL databases natively with SQL migrations and automatic schema management

Includes pub/sub messaging system with “at least once” delivery guarantees, similar to AWS SQS

Can deploy to Encore Cloud (AWS-based) or custom cloud platforms like AWS, GCP with own infrastructure

Free tier includes 100k requests, 1GB storage, 100k messages per day with fair use policy

No vendor lock-in - applications can be deployed independently to any platform

Provides Git-based deployment workflow with automatic environment provisioning

Built-in observability with request tracing and replay capabilities for debugging

Focus is on streamlining cloud development workflow rather than adding complexity to Go applications
