BuildShip

BuildShip is a low-code visual backend builder that uses AI to help you build workflows, APIs, scheduled jobs and cloud functions. The service is designed to be a best-of-both-worlds approach to no-code and code, letting developers build powerful, scalable backend services even if they don't have a lot of coding experience.

BuildShip offers prebuilt nodes and the ability to generate new ones with AI, so you can easily add different services and models to your workflows. You can browse through a large library of prebuilt nodes or use AI to generate custom ones. This means you don't have to wait for integrations to be built, so you can get your ideas up and running faster.

Some of BuildShip's key features include:

• Built-in Database or Bring Your Own: Comes with a preconfigured Firestore database, or integrate with your own.
• Unlimited Cloud Storage: Store files, assets and images for use in your workflows.
• Secret Manager: Securely store and use your workflows and APIs with Google Cloud's Secret Manager.
• Scheduled Jobs: Run tasks at a set interval or at a specific time of day.
• Use 1M+ NPM Packages: Pull in any NPM package or use AI-generated code.
• Version Control: Work with confidence knowing that your workflow history is stored and reversible.

BuildShip integrates with a wide range of services and tools, including popular ones like Google Sheets, Firebase, MongoDB, Supabase, Postgres, MySQL and more. You can also take advantage of advanced dev tools like autocomplete, a lightning-fast debugger and a secure sandboxing environment.

Templates are available to get you started quickly, including use cases like building an assistant that retrieves documents, integrating with Google Vision for text detection and setting up a WhatsApp chatbot with ChatGPT generated replies.
