Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Xano to create complete backend applications without dealing with infrastructure setup. It lets you build databases using PostgreSQL, design business logic visually or with code, and publish custom APIs or MCP servers. You can connect your backend to any frontend framework or AI agent like Claude and Cursor. The system includes built-in workflow testing, version control, automated deployments, and real-time observability to track performance and catch errors directly at the function level in production environments with strict workspace governance rules.
