It's worth mentioning that its built by ex-Spotify devs.

I'm curious, why would that be worth mentioning?

It tells me that the team behind this project have merits, they are experienced. It’s not some random people who had an idea. They probably saw a market for something.

I’ve been using the Go version of Encore for the past year. Overall it’s been really pleasant, a few rough edges that their team helped resolve, but it saved so much time on Ops that it was well worth it.

i normally don't use appeal to authority as a form of evidence. The project/product should stand on its own merits, regardless of pedigree.

I've seen Encore pop up here before and been impressed with some blog posts.

But the product itself seems vague. I think it's abstractions to simplify cloud primitives.

I like the brand, tone and presentation.
