BuildShip's visual workflow system is designed using a node-based architecture where each functional node represents a specific business unit. The system has three layers of technical implementation:
- The base layer provides HTTP triggers, database queries and other standard nodes, covering 80% regular requirements
- The middle tier dynamically creates customized functionality through an AI node generator to address long-tail requirements
- Extension layer supports JavaScript/TypeScript code injection to meet professional development needs
Actual business orchestration demo: The e-commerce inventory management system can be built in 10 minutes by dragging and dropping three nodes, Schedule Trigger, Firestore Query and Sendgrid Email, to complete the daily automated inventory check email notification system. The system supports Cron expression configuration, which can be accurate to minute-level scheduling precision.
Compared to traditional development, the engine increases business logic visualization to 90% and reduces error rates by 65%, making it particularly suitable for collaborative cross-functional team development.
