Today, with the launch of BuildShip V2, we've reimagined how modern software infrastructure can be built by unleashing a new era of visual development that puts enterprise-level tools in everyone's hands. This is our biggest release yet, packed with tools designed to supercharge your creativity and accelerate your workflow. By making the building process more flexible, transparent, and scalable, we're enabling you to focus on what truly matters: creating the future you envision for your product and business.
What’s New in BuildShip V2?
To start with, we’ve redesigned our platform to give you greater freedom, control, and flexibility. BuildShip is built to keep up with you as your ideas evolve, no matter how ambitious. Check out our What’s New in V2 video for a quick overview!
Here are all the new features we're bringing to you today!
New Canvas: Imagine, Build, Scale Without Limits
With our new infinite canvas, never run out of room to explore ideas or hit limits when you’re mid-project—just an expansive playground for innovation. Zoom in to any area of your workflow, to focus on the details and test individual nodes, or Zoom out to test the entire workflow. You can have an unlimited space to create, remix, test, and perfect workflows.
Seamless Input to Output Workflows
We have enhanced the workflow-building process to be more streamlined, reducing redundant steps and freeing you to focus on what truly matters. You can start building your workflow idea from input to final output. Test it to ensure it works end-to-end before diving into connecting your trigger.
Learn more about inputs, outputs, and the basics of how to build a workflow on our new canvas through a short 5-minute video walkthrough.
Home base with unlimited draft workflows
Home is your command center for managing your workflows and team. Easily track your active flows at a glance. For new users, we have introduced a streamlined onboarding process with quick-start templates to help you launch your first workflow in just minutes.
We aim to provide you with an unlimited experience that encourages exploration and ideation. You can create as many draft workflows as you wish; only the workflows you ship will count toward your plan usage. Track and manage your active workflows effortlessly, as indicated by a green dot on your navigation bar.
New Trigger Connectors: Automate Like Never Before
With new trigger connectors, you can listen to and respond to incoming requests in real-time. The moment data flows in, your workflows kick into gear. These triggers are more than just connectors—they’re your gateway to crafting the schema of your workflow and define what the output should be back to the connected trigger.
Connect Trigger
Listen for incoming inputs (in case of API or webhook based trigger)
Map your incoming data from trigger to your workflow inputs
One workflow, Multiple triggers
Your workflows can now connect to multiple triggers. This means you have various options for initiating a workflow—whether at scheduled times, through APIs, or in other ways!
Built-In Testing Made Easy
We know how important testing is to creating a reliable, production-ready product. V2 includes enhanced testing tools that make it easy to run tests directly in the platform and catch issues before they become problems.
Node level testing
Test individual nodes and craft them to perfection
Add unit testing that run every time you node gets deployed to ensure every pesky corner case is covered and missed
Workflow level testing
Test the entire workflow from input to output separated from the trigger connection
Save examples for reusing and retesting.
Enterprise-Grade Scalability and Security
We recognize that our users are building mission-critical applications at scale. BuildShip V2 now offers enterprise-grade scalability and security features designed for large deployments, including:
Self-hosting options
Compliance certifications (GDPR, HIPAA)
Robust version control
Seamless GitHub integration
Integration and migration support
Custom SLAs and 1:1 Engineering Call
These features provide the enterprise-ready infrastructure and peace of mind you need to confidently scale your workflows from prototype to production.
Monitoring and Error Reporting
We now provide comprehensive real-time monitoring and error reporting that gives you full visibility into your workflows. Our proactive alert system acts like a personal operations assistant, helping you instantly spot glitches, track progress, and gain actionable insights to keep your operations running smoothly.
Security and Compliance certificates
We are now GDPR and HIPAA compliant, with additional enterprise certifications coming soon. We've invested deeply in creating an enterprise-grade building experience that ensures your workflows and applications can scale seamlessly from prototype to production.
Flexible & Transparent - Credit-Based Pricing
Pricing should work for you, not the other way around. With V2, we’re rolling out credit-based, scalable pricing that’s tailored to fit every stage of your project or company. Whether you’re an individual creator, a startup, or an enterprise, you’ll only pay for what you need—no hidden fees, no surprises. Read our pricing blog for a detailed take on the changes.
Fair Credit-Based Pricing: Pay as you go, with options to auto-top-up credits that do not expire and keep your workflows running smoothly. Offer of bulk credit purchase discounts, annual pricing plan discount + claim Limited Time launch bonus credit.
Detailed Usage Reports: Full transparency on your usage, with reports so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
And here’s the highlight: BuildShip V2 is at least 10 times more affordable than comparable tools and with much great customization opportunity with code access.
Create your own triggers or publish them to the community
You can now start creating triggers! Our fully flexible, UI-based trigger editor allows you to build, customize, and create triggers. This feature is currently available with the Business plan.
