Secure Integrations Use Case | Xano
Unify systems with secure integrations.
Backend sprawl leads to fragile connections and inconsistent data. Xano helps you securely integrate and orchestrate data from multiple systems into a single, well-structured API layer.
Why Xano
With built-in tools for transformation, filtering, and authentication, Xano lets you unify your backend—without compromising on performance or security.
Single API surface for all your systems
Expose a clean, consistent API layer in front of legacy apps, SaaS tools, and databases. This reduces coupling and gives teams one place to integrate and govern.
- Aggregate multiple upstreams into one endpoint with parameterized routes
- Map/rename fields to a canonical schema to de-risk downstream changes
- Version endpoints to evolve safely without breaking consumers
- Centralize auth, rate limiting, and observability at the edge
Aggregate and transform data from any source
Join, filter, enrich, and normalize data on the fly—skip weeks of ETL setup and pipelines. Transformations live next to your APIs so they're transparent and testable.
- Connect to SQL/NoSQL, files, and external APIs with built-in connectors
- Compose joins/merges and calculated fields in visual logic
- Cache expensive lookups and precompute summaries for speed
- Emit consistent shapes even when upstreams drift
Secure auth and rate limiting built in
Apply security controls once and reuse everywhere. Keep sensitive data protected without custom middleware in every service.
- First-class support for API keys, OAuth/JWT, roles, and scopes
- Per-endpoint throttles, burst control, and abuse protection
- Secrets management so tokens never live in code
- Audit trails for access, changes, and policy evaluations
Normalize inconsistent data structures
Tame wild payloads with mappers and validators so downstream teams get predictable contracts.
- Validate inputs with required fields, types, and constraints
- Map vendor-specific fields to your domain model
- Handle schema drift with defaults and graceful fallbacks
- Generate consistent error objects and status codes
Control access with granular permissions and logs
Prove who did what, when, and to which record. Fine-grained RBAC and end-to-end logs make governance practical.
- Role-based permissions to govern access your instance
- PII redaction and scoped tokens for least-privilege access
- End-to-end request/response logging with correlation IDs
- Exportable logs for SIEM, compliance, and incident review
How Decathlon went to market 3× faster with secure integrations
Decathlon, one of the world's largest sporting goods retailers, needed to move fast without compromising security. Using Xano, they integrated data from multiple systems into a single, secure backend layer—enabling them to launch new digital services 3× faster than before.
3× faster development and launch compared to legacy processes.
Unified API layer across multiple systems and services.
Secure by default: centralized auth, rate limiting, and request logging.
Reduced fragility: no custom middleware or brittle glue code.
