No-code backend platform combining Postgres database, APIs, and business logic.

About Xano

Xano is a no-code backend platform that bundles an AI-ready PostgreSQL database, a visual API builder, server-side business logic, and hosting in one workspace. Builders create unlimited REST APIs and serverless functions through a canvas and function stack, or build with AI agents via MCP and CLI. It connects to any frontend, scales from prototypes to production workloads, and adds governance, testing, and observability for AI-built software.
