Show HN: BuildShip – Low-Code Visual Backend Builder, Powered by AI
Hello HN! I am Harini and along with my co-founder Shams, we just launched BuildShip. We are the team behind Rowy.io and we created BuildShip based all the feedback/and user requests we got from Rowy's community of no-code/low-code builders and developers.
Today you can create your backend workflows using nocode tools (but they lack scalability, flexibility, and extensibility and end up being expensive). Or you have to code them and deploy them to a cloud platform of your choice (you end up spending a lot of time reading docs, looking up CLIs, and context switching) - this is especially unnecessarily complex and time-consuming for no-low-/low-code product builders and developers.
With BuildShip, you can create powerful APIs, schedule jobs, database CRUD operations, and any backend task by simply combining nodes into a workflow. We have hundreds of pre-built nodes (from core nodes like parallel run, loop, branch etc to third-party tools, APIs,, support for 1M+ NPM packages and any AI models via OpenAI, Google Cloud, Replicate, Hugging Face, and many more as well as database connections to Firestore, Supabase, PostGres, BigQuery and much more). But MOST Importantly - if an integration is missing - you don’t wait for us to release it - you can simply ask AI what you want and it gives you a custom workflow node generated just for you. This will change the way you build your backend!
Btw the generated node is not a black box, you can dig into its code - right in the browser, tweak it anyway you like in JavaScript/TypeScript with AI code gen, test, and when ready - Ship in one click instantly!

We would love for your feedback and thoughts on this as we continue to Build → Ship!
- bofeiw 3y agoAwesome product! It really helps to speed up the build time of backend. The AI generated nodes are amazing and I can just ask the AI to generate code!
- harinijan 3y agoGlad to hear that, we are getting lot of positive feedback from users and would plan to keep iterating to make it even better experience soon :)
- jhiggins777 3y agoI had early access to this and I can tell you it is insane. It allows you to build your backend logic so fast without losing any control over more customized code. This is my goto now.
- harinijan 3y agoGreat to hear you are enjoying building using BuildShip. Thanks for your support.
- thedg 3y agoThis is pretty crazy cool
- iamanishroy 3y agoGreat product! It significantly speeds up backend task development.
- oak_360 3y agoGreat tool. I'm a videographer in Ghana building a solution with Rowy and buildship backend with Other low code front end.
- harinijan 3y agothats great to hear! We would love to showcase your product to our community if you are interested, you can join our community on Discord https://Buildship.com/discord https://Buildship.com/discord and ping me. Thanks :)
- aadityabhusal 3y agoWow! creating APIs is really fun with Buildship. I also loved that I could generate nodes with AI!
- mufassirk 3y agoThis is so awesome!!! AI generated nodes? I'm hooked.
- brisdak 3y agoCongrats on the launch. So is rowy going away and being replaced by buildship?
