Xano Development in Derby
Building backends in Xano for Derby teams. It fills a specific gap in the no-code stack — a real database with an API layer behind a visual builder — which suits products whose front end is built in a no-code tool but whose data needs proper structure and rules.
Why this comes up
The problem
A no-code front end has outgrown its built-in data storage, and the logic and relationships now needed do not fit what the visual tool provides.
What you get
What we deliver
- Database designed relationally, since that is the reason to use Xano
- API endpoints built for what the front end needs rather than exposing tables
- Authentication and authorisation handled at the backend, not in the interface
- Business logic in the backend where it cannot be bypassed
- Rate limits and validation, because a public API will receive unexpected input
- An assessment of whether a conventional backend would serve better

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Xano Development in Derby — common questions
- Why use Xano rather than a no-code tool's own database?
- Relational structure and real API control. Built-in data storage in visual builders handles simple cases and struggles with relationships, complex queries and shared access from several front ends. Xano gives you a proper backend without writing it.
- Where should the logic live?
- In the backend. Rules enforced only in the interface can be bypassed by calling the API directly, which is straightforward for anyone who looks. Validation, permissions and business rules belong where they cannot be circumvented.
- Is it a real database?
- It runs PostgreSQL underneath, so yes in the meaningful sense — relationships, indexes and queries behave as you would expect. The visual layer is over the top rather than replacing it, which is what distinguishes it from spreadsheet-backed tools.
- When would a conventional backend be better?
- When you have developers, when the logic is genuinely complex, or when you need control over deployment and infrastructure. Xano trades some of that for speed, and for teams with engineering capacity the trade often does not favour it.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
