2023 Highlights 🌟
🚀 Series A Funding
In 2023, we were proud to announce we raised our Series A round of funding. This was a huge testament to the support and trust of our amazing community. We're excited that our Series A funding will enable us to continue to bring you many improvements to Xano and provide all of you with the best backend on the market. Read the press release here.
💫 Xano Transform
Xano Transform is our newest feature that supercharges API and business logic development. Xano Transform leverages an easy-to-use syntax to write powerful expressions that can handle arrays, objects, conditionals, and advanced logic. It bolsters the speed of development and can reduce multiple functions into a short syntax.
🔃 Branch Merging
Branch merging is essential to the Software Development Lifecycle. Released at the beginning of 2023, it allows you to merge changes and updates of your business logic and API from a source branch into a destination branch. Check out the documentation and tutorials for more information.
🦾 Function Stack v2.0
It feels like forever ago but at the start of the year, we revamped the Function Stack, greatly improving the UI, adding bulk actions, editing & publishing drafts, real-time collaboration, partial refactoring of functions, a condensed view, and more!
📈 Performance Enhancements
We boosted all our paid plans with a 40% performance increase by moving to more powerful machines. Additionally, background tasks enjoyed a 2X performance boost.
⚡ Spreadsheet Experience
Our database spreadsheet received a bevy of improvements over the year. We introduced database views and rebuilt the spreadsheet viewer from the ground up to make it more performant, with a cleaner UI, and infinite scroll instead of pages.
🌐 Metadata API
Our Metadata API was launched this year enabling you to interact with your workspace programmatically and partners to build powerful integrations with your Xano backend.
🔥 New Functions
Cloud Storage Functions
We introduced Cloud Storage functions natively into the Xano function stack so you could leverage Cloud storage providers like Google Cloud or Amazon S3.
Try/Catch
The Try/Catch function was released this year enabling you to catch and handle errors in the function stack like never before.
Post Process
Post Process allows you to execute additional logic after the API has returned a response.
🫶 Community
New Community Platform
We migrated to a brand new Community platform in November and have received overwhelming feedback about how improved the interface and overall experience are.
Meetups & Conferences
Without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights was meeting so many of YOU this year! We attended various conferences and held meetups in five cities across the US and France.
🔐 Security & Compliance
Trust Center
We launched our Trust Center (security.xano.com) providing you with a one-stop shop for all information regarding security and compliance at Xano.
SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance
Security and compliance have always been a focal point here at Xano. We proudly obtained our SOC2 Type 2 Compliance in 2023. We will continue to bolster our compliance arsenal in 2024, stay tuned!
It's been quite the year and once again, we'd like to give a big thank you to you for supporting us. We have many exciting things planned for 2024 and can't wait to bring you more powerful features and inspiring moments.
Have a safe and happy New Year! 🎉
