About

BuildShip is a visual low-code platform for building backend APIs, scheduled workflows, and AI-powered automation without maintaining server infrastructure. Developers and non-technical product teams drag pre-built nodes onto a canvas — connecting database reads, API calls, conditional branches, and AI model invocations — then deploy them as serverless functions on Google Cloud. The AI node generator creates custom nodes from plain English descriptions, accelerating workflow assembly. BuildShip V2 added production-grade observability, batch processing, and native multi-model AI nodes supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. Finished pipelines expose as REST endpoints, webhooks, or scheduled crons. With 500+ integration connectors and TypeScript code escapes, the tool suits both builders and professional engineers. Free tier available; paid plans start at $25/month.
