Xano

Xano is a no-code backend platform that gives builders a database, an API layer, and a place to write business logic without managing servers. It provides a visual relational database with support for relationships, indexes, and large data volumes, an API builder where each endpoint's logic is assembled from function stacks, visual steps that query data, transform it, call external services, and enforce rules, and built-in authentication, file storage, background tasks, and scheduled jobs. The pitch, compared with lighter no-code databases, is that Xano is built to scale, running on dedicated infrastructure so it can back real production applications rather than just prototypes, and it can be paired with any front end, whether a no-code builder like WeWeb or a custom app. Xano exposes standard REST APIs, supports webhooks and real-time channels, and offers features like version history, staging environments, and the ability to export or self-host for teams that need it. It is used by startups, agencies, and enterprises building web and mobile app backends, and reports being behind a large number of applications. Xano offers a free tier for learning and building, with paid plans that add dedicated resources, higher rate limits, more storage, and team and enterprise capabilities.
