Xano

Xano is a unified backend platform built for the AI era, designed to help teams ship production-grade apps, APIs, AI agents, and MCP servers without stitching together a database, auth, hosting, and separate workflow tools. It combines a built-in PostgreSQL database with an API builder, visual server-side logic, and optional code editing so you can move quickly while still keeping fine-grained control over how your backend behaves.

With Xano, you define data models in Postgres, create endpoints, and orchestrate business logic through a visual function stack (or custom code when needed). It’s built to connect to external services and existing systems, making it practical for both new products and modernizing legacy backends. The platform emphasizes secure, scalable deployment: features like authentication, role-based access control, and compliance-focused capabilities (e.g., GDPR and support for SOC 2 / HIPAA-oriented workflows) are integrated so you can build responsibly from the start.

Xano also targets AI-native workflows. Its modular AI components and agent-building capabilities support building intelligent experiences, while MCP server support enables integration patterns commonly needed for agentic systems. Under the hood, Xano provides auto-scaling infrastructure so apps can grow without requiring deep DevOps work. It’s commonly paired with popular frontend tools such as Bubble and WeWeb, but it can serve any client that can call APIs. more
