Xano is a professional backend development platform for the AI era. Teams use it to build production logic that engineers can understand, govern, and run.
AI made writing software cheap. It did not make it trustworthy. Every generated function still has to follow your rules, run in your environment, and be understood by the people who own it.
Xano was built for that gap. Before anything is generated, your policies, permissions, and environment are already in place. After it's built, you can see exactly what exists and how it connects. That is not a review step bolted on at the end. It is how the platform works.
Xano is one backend platform to build, run and govern AI-built software. Your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex or Cursor) writes the database, APIs, MCP servers and agents in TypeScript with the Xano SDK. You run them on the Xano Engine on your machine, then deploy them to Xano, where one set of rules governs every release.
We give maturing teams one place to build, run, deploy, and govern backend logic.
Every workflow and integration is visible as a live representation of the running system, not documentation that drifts.
Permissions, environments, tests, and dependencies are set before the first line is generated, so every build stays inside them.
Run on our cloud or yours, in the region your data belongs.
Trace errors back to the object and version that caused them.
Xano is the backend. Build your frontend wherever your team already works, in any framework, and run the logic on Xano. If you're prototyping with an AI builder, Xano is where that prototype becomes something you can put in front of customers and auditors.
Growing companies in regulated industries that need to move fast without giving up standards. Our customers run consumer apps, financial workflows, and core business systems on Xano, in production, at scale.
Xano is SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 certified and HIPAA compliant, with GDPR, CCPA, and regional privacy requirements built into how we operate. Details are in our Trust Center.
