Bunship Is Live: A Production-Ready AI SaaS Template and Full-Stack Foundation
Building an AI product is rarely blocked by UI scaffolding.
The real complexity starts after launch: billing correctness, queue stability, rate limits, refunds, admin
operations, and content workflows.
Bunship is built for that reality.
It gives teams a production-oriented AI SaaS foundation so they can ship faster without rebuilding core
infrastructure from scratch.
What Is Bunship?
Bunship is a full-stack AI SaaS template designed for real product operations, including:
- Unified product surfaces: marketing site, user app, admin console, docs center
- End-to-end AI generation workflow: create, queue, execute, retry, cancel, deliver
- Subscription + wallet credits system: deduction, refund, and ledger history
- Admin-side model, pricing, and rate-limit governance
- CMS for content publishing, including AI-assisted cover generation
Core Highlights
1) Pluggable Task Queue for Flexible Deployment
- Supports both Trigger.dev and BullMQ
- Queue backend can be selected by environment configuration
- Built-in stale-task recovery and retry/failover handling
2) Native AI Monetization Stack
- Multi-provider model integration:
fal,replicate,kie
- Dynamic pricing rules and credit estimation
- Rate limits by provider/model/user dimensions
- Consistent execution, billing, refund, and audit behavior
3) Operations-Ready Admin Console
- Manage users, orders, products, wallets, affiliates, AI models, and CMS
- Pricing/rate-limit/model changes can be handled operationally
- Reduced dependency on engineering for routine growth operations
4) Production-Oriented Architecture
- Clear boundaries across UI, domain services, persistence, and provider adapters
- Stable stack for long-term iteration, not just demo delivery
- Designed for reliability, recoverability, and business correctness
