When it comes to building the backend for your application, building to 95% capability isn't good enough. You need a platform that can handle every edge case you throw at it and Xano is that platform. From its inception, it was built to be the first Turing complete NO CODE backend so anything you can do in a regular programming language (PHP, C, Javascript, etc.) you would be able to do in Xano.
Yes. With Xano you don't need a DevOps team because we handle everything for you. and are used to provision new accounts which provides a stable, scalable environment on top of and the database offers not only the power and flexibility of SQL/NOSQL, but can scale horizontally and vertically.
We want each one of our users to feel secure in building their businesses and backends on the Xano platform, so in the very unlikely scenario that we decide to close up shop, we promise to release the Xano source code under an open-source license so that you can set up your own Xano server and keep your backend running.
No. Xano only handles your entire backend, which consists of development, dev-ops, database & APIs as a hosted platform. It does not create any sort of front-end for your project. You can take the API endpoints you create in Xano and link them to the front end of your choice or with one of our preferred front end solution providers
You own your data. This also include any data that your users might upload unless your agreement with them specifies otherwise.
No. Since Xano's system creates and hosts all your project backend development code with a simplified NO CODE methodology, moving your business logic can potentially break and render your project inoperable. However, we are investigating ways to make this work as a future enterprise option.
Yes. You can export your data through the settings in your instance. The data will be exported as a .YAML file format.
We currently do not have a way to import or migrate a backend from another provider. This is largely because the infrastructure and format can drastically differ. We plan to look into certain functionalities if it makes sense as we see what customers want.

No. Xano prides itself in being a No Code or Zero Code solution. We enable both technical and non-technical users alike to build their backends without code or compromise. In doing so, we allow our users to save weeks to months of time in development and up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs. To stay true to our No Code DNA we do not provide the code at this time.
Yes. Although the Marketplace was just launched, we are very excited to begin releasing templates for our users to use for their projects. We have many useful and exciting templates on our roadmap.
Coming soon. Allowing our users to develop extensions and templates for the Marketplace is on the roadmap. Stay tuned for more information.

An additional workspace can be used for separating personally identifiable information from the main workspace, or a 3rd party vault server can be used instead.
Xano's origin was spawned via a development shop. So we know what they want with regards to client projects. Our objective is to simplify the backend development process while saving tons of money and time to complete each project.
