Encore Go Infrastructure

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with Encore's infrastructure-as-code platform specifically for Go applications. It allows agents to manage backend services, databases, and event-driven architectures by executing code that defines these resources in a declarative manner.

When to use it

• Deploying new Go-based microservices or backends to an Encore cluster.
• Modifying database schemas or adding new tables within an existing Encore project.
• Configuring event-driven workflows that connect multiple Go services together.
• Automating infrastructure updates for production environments using GitOps principles.

Key capabilities

• Defines backend services and their dependencies in Go code.
• Manages PostgreSQL databases with automatic schema migrations.
• Supports event-driven architecture patterns for service communication.
• Handles secrets management securely within the Encore environment.
• Provides a unified interface for deploying, scaling, and monitoring infrastructure.

Example prompts

• "Create a new Go service that exposes a REST API endpoint for user authentication."
• "Add a PostgreSQL table to store order details and write a migration script for it."
• "Set up an event listener in my Go backend that triggers when a new payment is received."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Go code follows Encore's specific conventions for service definitions and database interactions. This skill requires access to an existing Encore cluster or the ability to provision one before deployment can occur.
