Xano
No-code scalable backend platform with AI and API tools
What is Xano?
Try XanoXano is a no-code backend platform that helps teams understand, govern, and run everything their AI builds. Across the lifecycle, it keeps one governed system for APIs, functions, tasks, and releases, so changes are managed with visibility and control. You can build in the editor or in your IDE, with synchronized views that update together.
What is Xano, and what problem does it solve for AI-built software?
Xano is a governed backend platform for AI-built applications. It aims to make what AI builds trustworthy by keeping everything in one governed system, with business-rule controls, testable workflows, and release management so teams can run, observe, and safely change what’s in production.
Can I build in Xano without code, or do I need to use an IDE?
You can edit in the product (like Canvas) or in your IDE using XanoScript, and Xano keeps your Canvas View, Function Stack, and XanoScript code in sync. The same underlying system is used for the APIs, functions, and tasks you create, regardless of how you edit.
How does Xano support testing and debugging before deploying changes?
Xano supports run and debug, workflow tests across objects, and unit tests within objects. It also provides autogenerated OpenAPI documentation, lets you test against datasources, and supports agent sandbox environments to help you validate behavior before you deploy.
How does Xano handle releases, environments, and rollback?
Xano manages deployment through tenant environments and releases, including branching and merging. It also supports revertible history and branching-style workflows, so you can deploy changes as discrete artifacts and roll back if needed.
What governance and security controls does Xano provide?
Xano includes RBAC, enterprise SSO with GitHub, Google, and Microsoft, audit logs, and version history. It also emphasizes governed lifecycle control with observability, plus support for compliance needs such as compliance certifications.
Does Xano support AI agents and tools like MCP?
Yes. Xano includes support for agents and MCPs, along with agent sandboxes. It also supports “AI builds software” whether you work with AI, build in code, or build in the editor, while keeping changes governed within the same system.
