Low-code + full-code · Xano · WeWeb

Low-code developer who also works beyond low-code

I've used Xano and WeWeb professionally to ship production software, but I also work directly with React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, APIs, SQL and custom integrations. I'm comfortable choosing between low-code and full-code based on the product, not forcing everything into one tool.

2+ yrson a production Xano/PostgreSQL backend

100+ → 1database operations consolidated into one direct query

Low-code in production

From Talent Match / Braint, a production ATS/CRM built at Soraia.

Xano backend

Where low-code is strong

Schema, relationships, REST APIs, business logic, triggers and background tasks on a production ATS/CRM.
When add-ons and generated queries got slow, I wrote direct database queries and added PostgreSQL, GIN and geospatial indexes.

WeWeb frontend

Fast to build, until the product outgrew it

Production WeWeb front end on Xano: candidates, companies, opportunities, Kanbans and dashboards.
As the product grew, page and component loading felt slow and maintenance got harder.

Migrating to React

When to move to full code

Validated React on an internal dashboard first, then replaced every WeWeb page with React + TypeScript, with another developer.
React pages were embedded in WeWeb during the transition and shipped in batches while the app stayed live.

AI integration

Custom code inside a low-code backend

Persisted OpenAI embeddings for candidate matching, and asynchronous Google Vision + OpenAI CV enrichment, wired into Xano.

FAQ

Quick answers before we talk.

Are you a no-code developer?

No. I'm a full-stack developer who has used Xano and WeWeb professionally. I also work directly with React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, SQL and APIs, and pick the tool based on the product.

When should we leave low-code?

When load times, maintainability or consistency start costing you every day. A production WeWeb app I worked on reached that point after about 1.5 years, and we migrated it to React in batches. See my WeWeb developer page.

Can you speed up a slow Xano backend?

Usually, yes: indexes, pagination, direct queries, join rewrites and trigger fixes. See my PostgreSQL performance page.

Do you work remotely?

Yes, from Oran, Algeria (UTC+1). See work with me.
