Ready to scale

Why does Xano use Kubernetes?

Kubernetes manages the entire release cycle of every Xano container, watches the environment, and scales on demand.

Kubernetes runs the release cycle of every Xano container

Kubernetes is an open source system, originally designed by Google, for automating application deployment, scaling, and management.

Xano leverages Kubernetes to manage the entire release cycle of all the Docker containers. Kubernetes is constantly monitoring the environment and has the ability to auto-scale based on a variety of environmental factors.

How you build on it

From your TypeScript to this stack.

What runs on it

Write it in TypeScript. Xano runs it on Kubernetes.

Postgres, REST APIs, auth, background tasks, realtime, file storage, MCP servers and AI agents all run for you on Kubernetes. You write them as typed TypeScript with the Xano SDK, and one xanosdk deploy ships them. Autopilot right-sizes every Kubernetes pod, node and autoscaler to real usage.
