About

What is Xano?

Xano is the most powerful no-code backend platform, enabling developers and no-code builders to create scalable, production-grade APIs without writing server code. It provides a full-featured PostgreSQL-backed database, a visual function stack for complex business logic, real-time capabilities, background tasks, and file storage — all in one platform. Xano is the go-to backend for FlutterFlow, Webflow, Bubble, and Adalo apps that need more power than built-in databases can provide.
