CocoIndex features

  • Real-time incremental indexing. Reindexes only the changed delta, delivering sub-second freshness at any repo size.
  • AST-based code context. Generates call graphs, hierarchies, symbol tables and semantic indexes directly from source code.
  • Semantic search. Find functions, patterns or intent by meaning rather than plain text grep.
  • Built-in lineage & observability. Tracks every byte back to its source and provides metrics on freshness, throughput and cost.
  • Parallel task scheduling. Executes transformations in parallel by default for low-latency, low-cost processing.
  • Multi-source support. Ingests code, meeting notes, APIs, databases, vector stores, files, video, audio and more.

Encore features

  • Infrastructure Automation. Automatically provisions and manages AWS/GCP resources from application code.
  • Local Development Environment. Runs full backend locally with real databases, queues, and buckets in one command.
  • Preview Environments. Creates temporary isolated environments per pull request for end-to-end testing.
  • Built-in Observability. Provides service catalog, API docs, distributed tracing and logs.
  • Type-Safe SDK. Framework for building robust TypeScript and Go services with full type safety.
  • AI-Ready Framework. Allows AI agents to generate complete distributed systems with infrastructure definitions.
