Ship real backends -
not
prototypes
All the elements of a scalable backend, built into one platform. Xano gives you a managed database, instant APIs, built-in auth, and auto-scaling infrastructure from day one. Build with AI agents, in XanoScript, or in the Xano editor - and see exactly what's running before it goes live.
One backend, any frontend.
What is Backend as a Service (BaaS)?
Backend as a Service (BaaS) provides managed backend infrastructure, including databases, APIs, authentication, and server-side logic, so developers can build applications without managing every component themselves. Xano brings these capabilities together in one platform designed to support applications from initial development through production.

“Best feature: Speed of development. I built this in 3 days what would’ve taken 2 weeks with a traditional backend.”
Mayuresh Smita Suresh, GlobalScreen API on dev.to
“Working with Xano was like having a superpower for backend development…. The platform strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and power.”
Divya, Git Chaos on dev.to
“What impressed me most wasn’t just that the AI generated code - it made sensible architectural choices… These weren’t just “working” solutions; they were genuinely good patterns I might have chosen myself.”
Aditya, FestiFlow AI on dev.to
Why separate your frontend and backend?
Monolithic frameworks bundle your UI and your logic together - which works until you need to change one without breaking the other. A decoupled backend gives you the freedom to evolve your frontend and integrate with other systems without rewriting the engine underneath.
-
Choose any frontend framework or builder and swap it out anytime without touching your backend logic.
-
Serve multiple clients from a single backend: web app, mobile app, partner integrations, and AI agents all hit the same APIs.
-
Keep business logic, security rules, and data validation in one governed place instead of duplicating them across every client.
-
Scale your frontend and backend independently - deploy UI changes instantly without risking the systems that process data and enforce rules.
“We started with an AI builder for our frontend and Xano for our backend - it was the fastest way to get to market. Now that we’ve grown, we’re moving to a custom frontend, and the beautiful thing is that our entire backend stays exactly the same. Same APIs, same logic, same data. Xano gave us permission to move fast on the frontend without ever worrying about painting ourselves into a corner.”
Vincent Kose, Cargolo
A complete backend without the infrastructure overhead
Most backend tools give you pieces. Xano gives you one platform - managed, secured, and ready for production from the moment you sign up.
Managed PostgreSQL database with full relational modeling, triggers, and no record limits.
API Builder with auto-generated Swagger documentation for every endpoint.
Built-in authentication and role-based access control.
Single-tenant cloud infrastructure that meets global compliance standards.
Architecture that scales from launch to millions of users
With Xano, you don’t prototype on one tool and migrate to another when things get real. The backend you build on day one is the same backend that handles production scale.
Auto-scaling API and database nodes for traffic spikes.
Regional deployment for compliance or performance.
Single-tenant, Docker-provisioned containers orchestrated by Kubernetes on Google Cloud.
Reliable background tasks, scheduled jobs, and async workflows.
Enterprise security and compliance requirements met from day one
Regulated industries can’t afford to bolt on compliance after the fact. Xano is built with enterprise-grade security at its core.
Single-tenant, containerized infrastructure for full data isolation.
Out-of-the-box compliance with SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and HDS.
Role-based access control at both the platform level and the application level.
Data encryption in transit and at rest.
AI-generated code that teams can trust
Trust your AI-generated code
Opinionated, standardized logic
In Xano, logic is opinionated. Agents build through structured patterns, so every API and workflow follows the same standards.
See what AI built
One shared picture of what got built makes human-in-the-loop actually scalable. Validate AI’s work without reading every line of code.
Agent-safe infrastructure
Even with strong agent guardrails, you need to protect production. Isolated, ephemeral environments make it possible to safely test AI-generated code before pushing it live.

Frequently asked questions
Maturing teams. Xano supports AI-assisted building, code (XanoScript), and the Xano editor. Our largest customers are professional engineering teams running mission-critical production systems. You choose the workflow that fits your team.
Anything that needs a backend: customer-facing SaaS products, internal tools, AI-powered applications, mobile app backends, marketplace platforms, and more. If it needs a database, APIs, and business logic, Xano can power it.
Supabase gives you Postgres, auth, storage, and edge functions. You still build, deploy, and maintain your business logic and orchestration yourself. Xano gives you the full backend - database, logic builder, API generation, auth, deployment - plus one shared picture that lets you see and govern everything that’s running.
Yes. AI agents can write XanoScript through the Developer MCP, which connects tools like Claude Code and Cursor to Xano’s documentation and language server. You can also use the CLI to push AI-generated code to sandboxes, test it, and deploy - all from your terminal.
Nothing - that’s the point. Xano’s infrastructure auto-scales with your traffic. You don’t need to re-architect, re-platform, or hire a DevOps team. The backend you build on day one handles production scale.
Xano supports SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and HDS compliance out of the box. Every workspace is single-tenant and containerized, with data encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and SSL/TLS protection.
