description Xano Overview

Xano is not a visual app builder but a powerful, low-code backend platform. It allows developers to build robust, scalable APIs and databases without managing infrastructure. It is the perfect complement to frontend builders (like Webflow or Bubble) when the core requirement is a reliable, scalable, and complex data layer that needs to power multiple applications.

help Xano FAQ

What does Xano actually build?

Xano builds the backend of an app: database tables, API endpoints, authentication logic, and server-side workflows. It is often paired with frontends like Bubble, Webflow, FlutterFlow, or custom React apps.

Is Xano a replacement for Bubble?

Not exactly, because Bubble is a full visual app builder while Xano focuses on backend infrastructure. Many teams use Bubble for the interface and Xano for a more scalable API and database layer.

Can Xano connect to external APIs?

Yes, Xano can call third-party APIs and process the response inside backend workflows. That is useful for Stripe payments, OpenAI calls, Airtable migrations, and internal business tools.

Who should use Xano instead of Firebase or Supabase?

Xano fits builders who want backend logic and APIs without writing much server code. Firebase and Supabase appeal more to developers comfortable with their own client-side integration patterns and database rules.
