Evaluating Xano, here's my scenario!

Answered

Hey all, heard a lot about Xano from the bubble forums, so I thought I list out what I am trying to do:

  • I have several very different servers that handle some jobs that take quite a while to finish, so I implemented a simple job queue in mysql to tabulate them (I know, not ideal)
  • Each job as a pretty lengthy JSON payload
  • I am using Bubble as a frontend, and its combersome to deal with both json and mysql
  • What would be great is to provide an API for bubble to fetch a list of things from the json array, letting the server (not bubble) to parse the json appropriately.
  • The contents and structure of the json may change quite a bit as the application is changing, so I wanted to avoid writing custom code to parse the json.

Could xano be a good fit here? A big win would be if xano could:

  • Provide an easy api interface to read/write arbitrary json
  • Elegantly provide a solution for a job queue

Kinda broad question I know 😅 but thought I would put it out there.
