The Xano agency.A backend that holds up.
A Xano backend lives or dies on the data model and the Function Stack. Built loose, it buckles the first time real traffic shows up. We design a PostgreSQL schema to scale, build readable logic and clean REST APIs with auth, and wire it to your WeWeb, FlutterFlow or Bubble frontend.

GeminiA Xano agency builds the backend, not just a demo.
Anyone can spin up a few tables. Modeling data that scales, building a Function Stack that stays readable, and shipping an API your frontend can trust is a different job. Here are the four things we own.
- Data model
A PostgreSQL schema built to hold up as you grow
Your backend lives or dies on the data model. We design your Xano tables, relationships and indexes on its managed PostgreSQL so queries stay fast and the schema doesn't paint you into a corner six months in. We set up data sources for staging and production, plan the migrations, and structure the records so the Function Stack on top reads cleanly. Get this right and everything you build after is easier.
See a typical build - Function Stack
Business logic that stays readable, not a tangle
The Function Stack is where Xano earns its keep: visual, step-by-step business logic instead of buried code. We build the endpoints your product needs (CRUD, search, payments, role checks, side effects) with input validation, error handling and reusable functions, so a teammate can open a stack and understand it. We use background tasks and triggers for the work that shouldn't block a request, and keep it tested.
See the method - APIs & auth
REST endpoints and auth your frontend can trust
Your WeWeb, FlutterFlow, Bubble or mobile app is only as solid as the API behind it. We build clean REST endpoints with the right verbs, pagination and filtering, set up JWT authentication and role-based access, and wire external API requests to the third-party services you depend on (Stripe, Postmark, OpenAI and the rest). Rate limits and scoped tokens so the public surface stays safe.
See the integrations - Automation & AI
Background tasks, triggers and AI wired into the backend
A backend isn't just request-response. We set up background tasks for scheduled jobs, database triggers for reactive logic, and webhooks so your stack reacts to events instead of polling. When AI belongs in the flow, we wire it through the Function Stack (and Xano's own AI tooling) for enrichment, classification or generation. We're an automation and AI agency first, so this connects to the rest of your stack.

We build the backend like infrastructure, not a prototype.
Most Xano builds go the same way wrong: tables thrown together with no indexes, Function Stacks doing heavy work inside a request, no background tasks, and an API the frontend has to reverse-engineer. So we treat it like infrastructure: model the data first, build readable logic, expose clean endpoints with auth, and document it so your team can extend it.
- Audit · map your product, your data, and what the backend actually has to do
- Model · the PostgreSQL schema, relationships and data sources, built to scale
- Build · Function Stack logic, REST APIs, auth and external requests, tested
- Integrate · wire it to your frontend, automate the background work, hand it over
We build production backends on Xano.
We don't sell a partner tier. We build real products on Xano, so we model the data and the Function Stack the way it has to hold up under real load and real users, not the way a quick demo looks. That's exactly what's missing when a backend is thrown together to ship a screenshot.
- We build production backends on Xano, so we model the data and the Function Stack the way it has to hold up, not the way a quick demo looks.
- Frontend-agnostic: the same Xano backend powers WeWeb, FlutterFlow, Bubble or a native mobile app, so you're not locked to one builder.
- You leave autonomous: clean Function Stacks, documented endpoints and a schema your team can extend without us.
- No badge to sell. We're judged on whether the backend holds up under real load and real data, not on a partner tier.
Xano at the core, your product stack around it.
We build the parts that turn a no-code backend into reliable infrastructure, then connect them to the frontend and services your product already uses. Here's what a real build covers.
- Setup
Data model & PostgreSQL
We design your tables, relationships and indexes on Xano's managed PostgreSQL, set up data sources for staging and prod, and plan migrations so the schema scales instead of fighting you later.
- Setup
Function Stack logic
We build your endpoints as clean visual Function Stacks: input validation, error handling, reusable functions and conditionals, so the business logic stays readable and a teammate can pick it up.
- Setup
REST APIs & auth
We build REST endpoints with proper verbs, pagination and filtering, set up JWT authentication and role-based access, and add rate limiting and scoped tokens so the public surface stays safe.
- Setup
External API requests
We wire the third-party services your product needs through Xano's external API requests: payments, email, AI, CRM, whatever your stack runs on, with retries and error handling that don't leave records half-written.
- Setup
Background tasks & triggers
We set up background tasks for scheduled and async work, and database triggers and webhooks for reactive logic, so the heavy work happens off the request path and your API stays responsive.
- Setup
Frontend integration
We connect the backend to your WeWeb, FlutterFlow, Bubble or mobile frontend with documented endpoints and auth flows, so your builder team plugs in instead of reverse-engineering the API.
We map your backend, you leave with a plan.
Before quoting anything, we take 60 minutes to look at your product, your data and what the backend actually has to do. You leave with an honest read on whether Xano fits, how to model the data, and what to build first. Zero pitch, just an engineer's take on your backend.

- The data model and endpoints to build first
- The auth, background tasks and integrations you need
- A frank take on when it isn't the right backend
How we build a Xano backend.
Five steps, in order. We don't build logic before the data model is right, we don't ship endpoints without auth and validation, and your team owns it at the end. Each step has a deliverable and you sign off before we move on.
- Step 1 · Backend audit
Map what your backend actually has to do
We sit down with your product and look at the real requirements: the entities and how they relate, the endpoints your frontend needs, the auth and roles, the third-party services, the load you expect. We check whether Xano fits or whether you'd be better with an all-in-one builder or a custom-coded backend. Half the value is telling you that honestly before anyone models a single table.
- Step 2 · Data model
Design a PostgreSQL schema that scales
We model your tables, relationships and indexes on Xano's managed PostgreSQL, set up separate data sources for staging and production, and plan the migrations so changes don't break what's live. We structure the records so the Function Stack reads cleanly and queries stay fast as the data grows. Your data model is the foundation; we get it right before building logic on top.
- Step 3 · Logic & APIs
Build the Function Stack and the endpoints
We build your business logic as visual Function Stacks with input validation, error handling and reusable functions, then expose it as clean REST endpoints with pagination, filtering and the right verbs. JWT authentication and role-based access lock down who can do what. We wire external API requests to your payments, email and AI services, with retries so a failed call doesn't leave data half-written.
- Step 4 · Automate & integrate
Connect it to your frontend and your stack
We connect the backend to your WeWeb, FlutterFlow, Bubble or mobile frontend with documented endpoints and auth flows, so your builder team plugs straight in. Background tasks handle scheduled and async work, database triggers and webhooks handle reactive logic, and where AI belongs in the flow we wire it through the Function Stack. Everything ships with its error handling and logging from day one.
- Step 5 · Hand over & scale
Document it, then get out of the way
We hand over clean Function Stacks, documented endpoints and a schema your team can extend without us. We walk your developers through the data model, the auth flow and the patterns we used, so the next feature doesn't need us. If you want to go deeper, our no-code training covers Xano end to end. If you want us on call for what scales next, we talk about that separately.
We're judged on the backend that holds up.
No partner badge to display, so we lead with what matters: feedback from the teams whose Xano backend we built, and whether it kept holding up as their data and traffic grew. Our Trustpilot reviews come from those teams, not from a marketing deck.

The questions we get asked on repeat.
What does a Xano agency actually do?
A Xano agency builds the backend your product runs on: the PostgreSQL data model, the Function Stack business logic, the REST API endpoints and the authentication, then wires it to your frontend. We design tables, relationships and indexes that scale, build endpoints with validation and error handling, set up JWT auth and role-based access, and connect external API requests to the services you depend on. The point is a backend that holds up under real data and real load, not a demo that breaks the first time traffic shows up.How much does a Xano backend cost to build?
It depends on scope: a handful of endpoints over a simple data model is nothing like a multi-table schema with auth, background tasks and a dozen external integrations. We don't throw out a flat package. We start with a free 60-minute audit to map what your backend actually has to do, then quote a fixed scope. The Xano subscription itself you pay Xano directly; we design the data sources and usage so your plan fits the load instead of overpaying.Can Xano really scale, or does it break under load?
Xano runs on managed PostgreSQL and scales well when the backend is built right, and it struggles when it isn't. The usual failure isn't the platform, it's a data model with no indexes, Function Stacks doing heavy work inside a request, and no background tasks. We design the schema with the right indexes and relationships, push slow and async work to background tasks, and structure the Function Stack so endpoints stay fast. Done that way, Xano carries real production traffic.What is the Function Stack and why does it matter?
The Function Stack is Xano's visual, step-by-step builder for business logic: each endpoint is a stack of functions (queries, conditionals, loops, external calls, custom functions) you can read and reason about instead of buried code. It matters because that's where bugs and tech debt live. We build stacks with input validation, error handling and reusable functions, so a teammate can open one and understand it, and so the logic is testable rather than a tangle nobody wants to touch.Can you connect Xano to WeWeb, FlutterFlow or Bubble?
Yes, that's the common case, and it's where a clean API earns its place. Xano is frontend-agnostic: the same backend can power a WeWeb or Bubble web app, a FlutterFlow or native mobile app, or several at once. We build documented REST endpoints with the right auth flow (JWT, scoped tokens) so your frontend team plugs in instead of reverse-engineering the API. You're not locked to one builder, and you can add a new frontend later against the same backend.How do you handle authentication and security in Xano?
We set up JWT authentication with role-based access so every endpoint knows who's calling and what they're allowed to do. Public endpoints get rate limiting and scoped tokens; sensitive logic stays behind auth checks inside the Function Stack. We validate input so bad data never reaches the database, and we keep secrets out of client-side code by handling external API requests server-side in Xano. Xano's own plans carry the platform-level compliance; we build the application-level guardrails on top.Is Xano always the right backend, or are there limits?
No, and we'll tell you when it isn't. If your app is very simple, an all-in-one builder that bundles its own backend may be enough and cheaper to run. If you need full control of a custom-coded backend, exotic infrastructure, or logic that doesn't fit a visual Function Stack, a hand-written backend can be the better call. Xano shines for scalable APIs and data-heavy products where you want speed without managing servers. We'll say so honestly in the audit rather than sell you a tool that doesn't fit.Do you also build background tasks and AI features?
Yes. Background tasks handle scheduled jobs and async work so it never blocks a request, and database triggers and webhooks let your backend react to events instead of polling. When AI belongs in the flow (enrichment, classification, generation, search), we wire it through the Function Stack and through external API requests to the model you choose, and through Xano's own AI tooling where it fits. We're an automation and AI agency first, so the backend connects cleanly to the rest of your stack instead of sitting on its own.
Stop shipping a backend that buckles. Build it right.
A 60-minute audit, your backend mapped, a build plan with the data model and auth baked in. If your team can run it in-house after the build, we'll hand you the playbook. If we're the right fit, we handle it.
