If that works for you, all the better! There are quite a few things that Encore does beyond what you mentioned:

- Automatically sets up dedicated Preview Environments for your Pull Requests

- Provisions all the infrastructure you need, both for local development as well as in production (and other environments like staging or testing)

- Provides auto-completion and compile-time type safety for making cross-service API calls, with a single line of code

- Integrates secrets management, API documentation, frontend client generation, etc :)
