⚙️ Xano - for handling all the backend magic that keeps every dialogue, philosopher, and reflection flowing smoothly, notifications and more.
a true production-ready backend with relational database, API builder, and scaling baked in—no need for Firebase workarounds or custom servers.
Love the custom API's
Xano has completely redefined how we build and manage backends at scale.Its combination of visual development, API control, and database orchestration makes it ideal for both rapid prototyping and enterprise-grade delivery.The platform’s governance features (environments, branching, roles) and its extensibility through custom functions make it a true backend powerhouse for modern low-code teams.
I love this product. For me personally, it’s been a huge upgrade. I started in 2010 with Zapier, then moved to Make, then n8n, then Xano, and now Xano 2.0 — it’s just amazing. This isn’t simple automation anymore, it’s real SaaS building. What makes it perfect is the mix of having an actual server plus building my own workflows (APIs + function stacks), and now with XanoScript (a new scripting language that takes the best parts of JavaScript, PHP, Twig, and SQL), it’s everything I need in one place.
Xano makes it possible to quickly build out the core of a product. It handles everything back-end. It is your datastore, your integration point, security/authentication/authorization, business logic and api interfaces. You can choose to use as much or as little of the Xano capabilities as needed.The new addition of AI agents, MCP clients/servers has been a big boost for how Xano is leading the visual development industry.
As an agency, we often look for platforms that let us move fast without compromising on structure — and Xano strikes that balance beautifully. The new logic assistant feels intuitive yet powerful, and the VS Code + Git integration bridges the gap between low-code flexibility and engineering-grade reliability.We love how you’ve made backend building feel both accessible and serious — something that’s rare in the no-code world. Kudos to the team for pushing this space forward. We’re already thinking of a few client projects that could benefit from what you’ve built. 👏
Xano is probably the best place for beginners with solid product ideas. You get to build your solution step by step with guardrails that will not hinder your creativity, instead it will protect your product for years to come.
Using it for a very very large application (Enterprise Xano, 4 regions, Kubernetes on private cloud). Hundreds of tables and endpoints, 3000 concurrent users. Medical personal data. Strong points : You can start project day 1Single platform includes everything you need : unit testing, documentation, security, scalability, api, database, deployement, versionning, debug...You can include your own dockers
The mix between AI, visual logic, and real code through XanoScript makes backend development both fast and structured. The new AI Assistant is actually useful, it understand context, write clean logic. Being able to work directly from VS Code while staying synced with the visual interface is just brilliant. And the built-in hosting is the cherry on top: fast, simple, and totally frictionless.What’s impressive is how natural it all feels now. You can move from idea to production without ever feeling constrained by the tool. It’s the kind of upgrade that reminds you why Xano has always been ahead of the curve.

The free front-end hosting is the cherry on top: simple, fast, and incredibly convenient.What we love most is how everything just flows:AI accelerates, visuals clarify, and code refines.It’s the perfect balance between creation freedom and production-grade control.For us, Xano 2.0 finally delivers what the no-code world has been promising for years: build faster, build smarter, and build your way.Xano’s expertise, now accessible to everyone.A true revolution for builders everywhere. 🚀— The Gaspach.io team,Xano experts and early adopters since the very beginning 🧡
We’ve been using Xano for several projects, and it’s become one of the most reliable parts of our stack. It combines the flexibility of traditional development with the speed of no-code — without forcing you into a box.What stands out most is the balance between visual clarity and technical control. You can design and manage complex business logic visually, but still drop into code when needed. The new VS Code integration makes this even smoother — our consultants can work directly in their IDE and instantly sync changes back to Xano. Using AI to assist them in building the logic of the system.The Canvas view is great for client discussions. It helps explain processes and data flow in a way that’s easy to understand, even for non-technical stakeholders.Performance and scalability have also held up well for production-grade use. Xano’s infrastructure feels solid, and we’ve been able to move from prototype to live systems without any rework.Overall, Xano continues to prove that no-code doesn’t have to mean limited. It’s a serious backend platform for professional teams who want to move fast while keeping structure and control.— Bas @ EsperantoXL
I chose Xano because it gives LuxeReply every backend capability in one platform, without needing to write and maintain complex code. Unlike other tools, it’s truly no-code yet powerful, letting us prototype fast, scale reliably, and stay flexible as we grow. This means we spend less time on infrastructure and more time building features that create real value for our users.
