Encore VS Directus

In this tutorial you will create a REST API for a URL Shortener service using Encore for TypeScript, a new way of building fully type-safe and production-ready distributed systems in TypeScript using declarative infrastructure.

At Encore, we've made it easier by making Pub/Sub is a native component in Encore's Open Source Infrastructure SDK.

⭐️ Support the project by starring Encore on GitHub.

Very cool. Reminds me of the encore framework, also written in go: https://github.com/encoredev/encore

Need to spend some more time looking into these go based frameworks, they seem great for quick prototyping

package url import ( "context" "testing" ) // TestShortenAndRetrieve - test that the shortened URL is stored and retrieved from database. func TestShortenAndRetrieve(t *testing.T) { testURL := "https://github.com/encoredev/encore" sp := ShortenParams{URL: testURL} resp, err := Shorten(context.Background(), &sp) if err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } wantURL := testURL if resp.URL != wantURL { t.Errorf("got %q, want %q", resp.URL, wantURL) } firstURL := resp gotURL, err := Get(context.Background(), firstURL.ID) if err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } if *gotURL != *firstURL { t.Errorf("got %v, want %v", *gotURL, *firstURL) } }

For something in the same vein but for Go, there is Encore: https://encore.dev / https://github.com/encoredev/encore

The framework is Open Source and the Encore platform provides free cloud hosting for hobby projects.

Encore is a backend framework for creating cloud backend applications where infrastructure is provisioned automatically from business logic.

Directus is an open data platform built to serve as a headless CMS, API, or Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for other applications. It is designed to make data accessible to people of all technical levels and to make it easy to build data-centric applications. Directus is extensible and can be integrated with many different frontend technologies to create stable, well-structured development and user experiences.

As of April 2024, Directus' GitHub repository has accumulated 25.2k stars and 3.5k forks, showcasing its active community. The project has secured $8+ million in funding, further fueling its growth and development.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
