Every stage of the backend lifecycle, on one platform.

One platform to build, run and govern AI-built software. Build in TypeScript with AI, run it locally, deploy to Xano, then test, observe and govern it in one system.

Write it in TypeScript, read it in Canvas View.

Your coding agent writes every API, function, and task in TypeScript with the Xano SDK, and that code in your repo is the source. Deploy it, and Canvas View and the Function Stack show what it compiled to, readable by everyone on the team. Already on Xano? init --from workspace pulls your workspace back as TypeScript.

Questions

The Xano platform, answered

What does the Xano platform include?

Xano includes every stage of the backend lifecycle on one platform. Build: a PostgreSQL database, APIs, realtime channels, tasks, triggers, agents and MCP servers, written in TypeScript with the Xano SDK. Run and test: workflow tests, unit tests and sandbox environments. Deploy: branching, tenant releases and self-hosting. Observe: request history and error logs. Govern: RBAC, SSO and audit logs.

Where does Xano run?

Your backend runs on the Xano Engine on your machine (a single binary with Postgres built in), in CI, and in Xano’s cloud, with dedicated infrastructure from the Essential plan up. On Custom plans, Xano also runs in your own AWS, Azure or GCP account, or on-prem, with tenants isolated per client or region.

Can I bring my own cloud?

Yes. On the Custom plan, Xano runs in your own AWS, Azure or GCP account, or on-prem, with separate tenants for data, resource and regional isolation, SSO, high availability and 24/7 monitoring. Every release is an immutable, version-controlled deploy object, in your cloud or ours, with instant rollback.
