import { Callout } from 'nextra/components'; import Image from 'next/image'; import buildshipDbNodes from '/public/assets/buildship-db-nodes.png';

In the Node Explorer, navigate to the "BuildShip Database" category. You'll find a range of nodes for various database operations. Insert the relevant BuildShip Database nodes into your workflow. Customize the nodes by providing the necessary input parameters for your specific use case.

The BuildShip Nodes work in the same way as the **Firebase Nodes**. However, you do not need to provide any additional information, like the **Project ID** input to use the BuildShip Database nodes. It directly uses the Firebase Storage account associated wit your BuildShip Project to interact with your BuildShip database.
