XanoWatch

Overview

XanoWatch is a specialized monitoring tool I developed to supervise and diagnose backends built with Xano. It provides real-time visibility into API performance, helping developers identify issues before they impact users.

Xano is a powerful no-code backend platform, but it lacks built-in monitoring. XanoWatch fills this gap with comprehensive observability features.

The Problem

Xano developers often face these challenges:

No visibility into endpoint performance
Difficult to identify which APIs are causing slowdowns
Error tracking requires manual log inspection
No historical data for trend analysis
Production issues discovered by users, not developers

Key Features
