Encore.ts: a new type of framework

We recently published performance benchmarks showing how Encore.ts achieves 9x request throughput compared to Express.js, and 2x compared to Fastify.

But it seems that almost every new JavaScript framework these days claims that it's "lightning fast" or "lightweight", with "clean syntax" or a "minimalistic API". Sound familiar?

Understandably, the cynicism and scepticism is relatable, and I can't really blame you if you're thinking "do we really need yet another JavaScript backend framework?".

Still, I'd like to give it a go to convince you otherwise, by explaining how Encore.ts is different. Why it isn't just another backend framework, and why this time it actually might be worth paying a bit closer attention.

Encore.ts focuses heavily on providing an incredible developer experience, and takes this much further than just providing clean syntax or a tiny bundle size.
