Generate APIs, databases, and logic with AI. Xano is the backend platform that lets you build what you need, see what you built, and ship it fast.

Connect to any frontend

Work with any coding agent

REST APIs — build auto-documented APIs from your data and logic

Existing APIs — centralize, proxy, and govern under unified policy

Triggers — background tasks, scheduled jobs, event-driven flows

Middleware — pre/post API logic shared across endpoints

Native MCP server — expose every API as a governed AI tool

AI agents — build agents that run on your data and logic, governed by your rules

Auth — SSO, SAML, OIDC, RBAC, per-endpoint policy

Audit trail — history of every change, approval, and access

Visual validation — domain experts can read and verify business logic on a shared canvas

Compliance — SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA-ready

PostgreSQL — built-in, or connect external data sources

File storage — assets, uploads, documents

Static hosting — deploy frontends alongside your APIs

Knowledge — documentation, specs, and skills that constrain agents to your rules and context

Sandboxes and testing — unit tests, workflow tests, pre-prod validation

Branch and versioning — Git-based promote/rollback/diff

CI/CD — automated promotion, approval gates, rollback

Tenants and isolation — multi-tenant boundaries with per-tenant policy

Auto-scaling — managed beneath the visual layer

Deployment — Cloud, BYOC, dedicated single-tenant

Observability — request traces, errors, payloads, performance

Agent telemetry — what your AI agents ran, called, and cost

Third-party signals — ingest OpenTelemetry from your existing stack

Integrations

Connect to anythingDeployment

Deploy anywhereCloud

Fully managed. Zero ops overhead. Get to production in minutes.

Trusted by enterprises building business-critical workflows around the globe.

From indie developers to enterprise teams—the Xano community is where the best backends get built.

Working with Xano was like having a superpower for backend development. The platform strikes the perfect balance between simplicity & power.

Developer on DEV.to

Xano made it incredibly easy to go from idea → AI-generated backend → production-grade system in a very short time.

Developer on DEV.to

Best feature: speed of development. I built in 3 days what would've taken 2 weeks with a traditional backend.

THE BACKEND FOR AI GOVERNANCE

Build a backend, not a black box.

Learn more about AI governance01 BUILD

Describe what you want. Xano generates APIs, databases, and workflows instantly.

02 REVIEW

Every API and workflow is shown visually, so you can always understand what's happening.

03 TEST

Test in sandboxes isolated at the infrastructure level. What you see is what runs—nothing reaches production without review.

04 SHIP

It's live—and all without stitching together tools like Supabase + auth + APIs + backend logic.

“Every other tool makes you choose—move fast with AI, or build something you'd actually put in production. Xano is the first backend where I don't have to pick.”

THE REALITY

Frontends are simple—the backend is the difference between an app that looks good and an app that actually works. But doing it well means:

Stitching together multiple tools

Writing and debugging complex logic

Figuring out infrastructure

Dealing with things breaking in production

THE XANO WAY

Get everything you need—and nothing you don't want.

Whatever you're building, Xano gives you the backend infrastructure, visual tooling, and governance to do it without stitching together separate tools.

PLATFORM OVERVIEW

Your backend tells a story, but it's hard to see when it's only accessible through code. Xano is the only backend-as-a-service platform that takes raw code and visualizes it, making it easy to validate AI-generated script as well as work with non-technical stakeholders.

Build visually, write in code, or do both—always in sync.

Describe your backend, AI builds it. Connect from any IDE or agent via the Developer MCP and CLI.

Production-ready PostgreSQL with no migrations, no DevOps.

Instant REST APIs with auth, rate limiting, and custom logic—built and edited visually.

Sign up, login, JWT tokens, and role-based access—ready to connect to any frontend.

Request tracing, performance dashboards, and audit logs across every system.

Branch, test, and promote—nothing untested reaches production.

HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO. Built in from day one.
