Xano: Real No-Code Backend

Build production-grade APIs, auth, and business logic without code.

Lesson Notes

Xano is what you graduate to when Airtable can't keep up. It gives you: a real Postgres database, a visual API builder (no code), built-in authentication (signup/login endpoints you own), and business logic with branching and transformations. The key mental model: everything in Xano is an API endpoint. Your frontend (Bubble, FlutterFlow, Webflow, or anything) calls these endpoints to read and write data. Xano sits between your UI and your database.

Your Challenge

Create a Xano account. Build a database table called "todos" with fields: title (text), completed (boolean), user_id (integer). Create a GET endpoint that returns all todos and a POST endpoint that creates one. Test both in Xano's API request builder.
