nitric VS Encore

If you haven't used the Nitric SDK before, then start with this tutorial.

For all those on the hunt for a framework, Nitric is here for you. It's a multi-language framework that helps teams quickly build cloud applications. Nitric unites backend and infrastructure code and automates the process of provisioning and deploying infrastructure. The first major version brings a bunch of changes including significant improvements to the Nitric CLI to support productive cloud development. There's also new architecture visualizations and a new SDK for building and extending Nitric providers. Congrats to the team on shipping your very first version 🥳.

You may have heard of the open source Nitric framework that my team and I have been developing – it’s a cloud-aware application framework that provides a seamless dev experience and confident cloud deployments. Put simply, Nitric handles the infrastructure and runtime requirements of your application, so you can focus your efforts on building it.

Compare the following diagram to the one shown above. This flow addresses some of the concerns raised previously by using an automation framework to eliminate some of the assets that were originally manually crafted. We’re using our open source Nitric Framework in this example; other tools can be used to automate pieces of this flow as well.

If you haven't used the Nitric SDK before, then start with this tutorial to get your project scaffolded and ready to run.

In this exploration, we created a Profile Management API using Nitric, handled core profile operations, and extended it for image management.

On the server-side, you will typically use Zod validation in your route handlers, immediately after receiving a request. Here's an example using the Nitric framework:

Nitric is a serverless framework for rapidly developing and deploying cloud applications.

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.

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.
