description: Xano is a no-code backend / backend-as-a-service that lets users visually
  build production REST APIs backed by a managed PostgreSQL database and serverless
  functions. Each workspace auto-generates its own OpenAPI/Swagger for the user-built
  API groups, and a separate per-instance Metadata API lets you manage tables, schema,
  records, files, and branches programmatically with Bearer auth.
