Xano
FreemiumScalable no-code backend platform for building APIs, databases, logic, and AI-governed applications with visual tools and managed infrastructure.
Tool Information
What is Xano?
Xano is a scalable no-code backend platform that enables users to generate, visualize, test, deploy, and govern secure backends including REST APIs, PostgreSQL databases, business logic, authentication, and AI agents without writing traditional backend code. It supports no-code builders, developers, agencies, and enterprises with visual tools and managed infrastructure.
Core Features
No-code API Builder
Build auto-documented REST APIs from data and logic; centralize, proxy, and govern existing APIs under unified policy; support middleware, triggers, background tasks, scheduled jobs, and event-driven flows.
Managed Postgres Database
Built-in PostgreSQL data layer for APIs and agents, with options to connect external data sources, plus file storage for assets, uploads, and documents.
AI-assisted building and AI Agent Builder
Generate APIs, databases, and workflows with AI; build agents that run on your data and logic governed by your rules; expose APIs as governed AI tools via native MCP server.
Visual logic builder
Visual canvas for business logic and workflows so domain experts can read, verify, and understand APIs and processes on a shared canvas.
Built-in authentication and RBAC
Authentication with SSO, SAML, OIDC, RBAC, and per-endpoint policy for access control and governance.
Observability and monitoring
Request traces, errors, payloads, performance monitoring, agent telemetry for what AI agents ran/called/cost, and ingestion of OpenTelemetry from existing stacks.
Environment management, CI/CD, and versioning
Sandboxes and testing (unit tests, workflow tests, pre-prod validation); Git-based branch/versioning with promote/rollback/diff; automated CI/CD with approval gates and rollback.
Scalable server and deployment options
Auto-scaling managed infrastructure; multi-tenant isolation with per-tenant policy; deployment as fully managed Cloud, BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud on AWS/GCP/Azure), dedicated single-tenant, or on-prem.
Compliance and audit trail
Audit trail of every change, approval, and access; compliance support for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA-ready configurations.
Static hosting and Knowledge
Static hosting to deploy frontends alongside APIs; Knowledge layer for documentation, specs, and skills that constrain agents to rules and context.
Use Cases
- #1
Scalable BaaS
Use as a backend-as-a-service to power applications with scalable APIs, databases, and logic without managing traditional backend infrastructure.
- #2
Logic Centralization
Centralize business rules, APIs, middleware, and workflows in one governed backend for consistency across applications and agents.
- #3
Legacy Modernization
Modernize legacy systems by centralizing, proxying, and governing existing APIs and logic under Xano policies.
- #4
Automations and Agentic Workflows
Build background tasks, scheduled jobs, event-driven flows, and AI agents that execute on governed data and logic.
- #5
AI Governance
Govern AI-built software and agents through APIs, visual validation, audit trails, sandboxes, and policy controls so AI speed meets engineering rigor.
