Disclaimer: This is not the official development methodology for Xano. This an individual initiative, started by Guillaume Maison, to assist Xano Developers with a sustainable methodology to develop their backends and provide the smallest tech debt and the best practices for developing.
Welcome to the Xano Development Methodology repository. This project explores the principles of effective software development methodologies for Xano.
This Methodology is designed for all Xano developers seeking a structured approach to development, especially when collaborating in teams. It establishes a set of foundational principles for coding methodology, including best practices for naming conventions, algorithm design, design patterns, and effective teamwork strategies.
I created this guide after observing that many no-code developers often lack clarity on core development practices. However, this document is meant to be a living, collective resource—not a static, definitive rule set. The goal is to foster ongoing collaboration, inviting the community to propose and discuss improvements so the methodology can continue to adapt as development approaches evolve.
While specifically tailored for Xano, the concepts outlined can also be adapted for other platforms and visual coding languages. The methodology draws inspiration from various established coding practices, aiming to provide a stable, effective, and community-driven foundation for professional development within Xano.
