Xano for developers: Built to be verified.

Your workflow, intact: CLI, tests, branches, and your agents - with what runs underneath specified in enough detail to check.

How AI code governance works

A toolchain you’ll recognize.

Everything a serious backend expects, on a platform your whole team can see into:

Run and debug from the CLI

Function-by-function execution, workflow tests across objects, unit tests within them.

Ephemeral environments

Unlimited sandboxes per workspace, and disposable tenants for parallel work: spin one up per change, run the tests against it, promote it, or throw it away.

Three views of one artifact: Canvas View, the Function Stack, and XanoScript code. Edit any view - in the product or your IDE - and the others stay in sync. Build with AI, in code, or in the Xano editor.

Bring your own runtime

Run any workload as a Docker microservice alongside your governed logic, with business rules and observability wrapped around it.

APIs, documented automatically

Every endpoint ships with autogenerated OpenAPI docs, so what's documented matches what runs.

Version everything

Branching and merging, draft changes with revertible history, and a full change record for every object.

Your editor, your repo

One-way Git sync commits every change to your GitHub or GitLab repo - a standing backup and an audit trail.

From your IDE, start to shipped:

$ claude mcp add xano -- npx -y @xano/developer-mcp  # your agent, loaded with Xano docs and live validation
$ xano workspace pull -d ./my-app  # your backend, on disk, as files
> "Add a signup endpoint that emails a welcome message"  # the agent writes it
$ xano sandbox push -d ./my-app --review  # push to your sandbox, open the review diff
$ xano workflow_test run_all  # run the suites against the sandbox
$ xano workspace push -d ./my-app  # promote: preview, confirm, live

When something breaks,
you see where.
Immediately.

Stack traces that point to the failing stack, not a log dump. Step-through of functions with production data. Request history across every endpoint. An audit trail for every change, human or agent.

Stack traces pointing to the failing function

Nothing ships that you
didn't approve.

The release flow is the same everywhere: sandbox → immutable artifact → review → promote. The exact artifact your team inspected is what runs in production. Tenants give each client, region, or cohort its own database, URL, and lifecycle.

Sandbox, review, and promote release flow

Your cloud or ours. Any region. In a click.

Regional deployment in a click, across cloud hosts and hosting configurations. The common enterprise journey: start in your cloud, and hand over operations when we've earned it.

Standard substrate, no surprises: Xano runs on technology your platform team already operates - Kubernetes, Postgres, Redis.

Kubernetes

Postgres

Redis

Managed

Xano operates it end to end.

Bring your own cloud

Deploys into your AWS, Azure, or GCP - your jurisdiction, your keys.

Self-hosted

Including on-prem, for the environments that require it.

Understanding doesn't stop at your application.

Autopilot brings the same principle (see it, trust it, prove it) to the infrastructure your software runs on: continuous right-sizing of every pod, node, and autoscaler, applied in place.
