Bookshop.org cuts DevOps work by 95% and saves $60,000 a year with Encore

Bookshop.org, an online marketplace for independent booksellers, faced challenges when migrating from a Ruby on Rails monolith to Go microservices. Their team found that Go's lack of conventions led to inconsistency and that managing surrounding infrastructure like Terraform and Kubernetes was painful to maintain. They turned to the Encore platform to solve these problems.

Using Encore, Bookshop.org implemented a structured framework for their Go services that automated infrastructure provisioning and enforced best practices. As a result, they reduced their DevOps workload by 95% and achieved $60,000 in annual cloud savings. The Encore platform also provided built-in observability and testing tools, which empowered their small team of eight engineers to launch new products faster and with greater confidence.
