Xano

Xano is a no-code backend / backend-as-a-service that lets users visually build production REST APIs backed by a managed PostgreSQL database and serverless functions. Each workspace auto-generates its own OpenAPI/Swagger for the user-built API groups, and a separate per-instance Metadata API lets you manage tables, schema, records, files, and branches programmatically with Bearer auth.

Xano publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including API Groups API, Auth API, Content API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include No Code, Backend as a Service, BaaS, API Builder, and Database.

Xano’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 10 more developer resources.
