Rationale

Xano is a backend development platform that aligns well with the concept of a low-code internal tools platform, although it focuses specifically on the backend. It offers robust API and database integrations, allows for extensive code customization (Lambda functions, custom Javascript), and provides strong security features like RBAC and compliance. While it doesn't have a drag-and-drop UI builder for frontends, it explicitly states it's frontend agnostic and can connect to any frontend. It also supports flexible deployments, debugging tools, version control, audit logs, workflow automation, and AI assistance for database schema generation and other functions.
