Introduction

Buddy – Automating software and application development is now of great value, but its implementation is complex because it requires combining the work of many tools, some of which are obsolete and subject to replacement. Each company solves this problem by directing its resources to ensure that the development is conducted in accordance with testing and operation, instead of focusing on the delivery of the product.

Buddy offers a versatile solution, a decentralized site designed to automate the development of more than seven thousand different engineers and companies.

The Buddy team was founded in 2007 and operates on a popular subversion hosting platform aimed at site creators. In 2015, they launched their platform to facilitate the process of automation. The product is evolving and is already collaborating with leading companies such as Github, Azure, Google, Microsoft, and many others. The creators formed the Foundation for the release of progressive applications and services. The platform is based on Blokchain, than stands out among the analogs.

The project interacts with any IT organizations, maintaining a high level of performance. It provides a transparent platform for qualified software developers to build quality add-ons to automate development. Thanks to the autoscaling feature, users are observing the steps to unload the settings into a public network.

Some companies have to lose millions by supporting their own system of development automation, trying to accelerate it, while the work of hundreds of programmers and tests. As a result, the system becomes more complicated and requires constant maintenance. But setup and maintenance do not make up the trade value – it makes the delivery. Buddy Organizations can synchronously solve a number of tasks in order to eliminate queues.

Problems & Challenges

Barriers to Development Automation

Application automation development provides a huge boon to organizations, but it is challenging to adopt, because of:

Mentality & Culture
Legacy Infrastructure
App Complexity
Integration of Tools
Neglecting Test Automation
No DevOps Plan
Lack of Training
Too Many Tools

Difficult scaling

Large teams which use automation as a key differentiator and value driver, struggle to scale up their DevOps infrastructure

Obsolete tools

Solutions that come and go can’t continue to innovate and will have to be replaced

No solutions for cross-functional teams

Damaging to organizational performance & culture with clashes of attitudes and conflicting goals

Solution

Buddy offers reliable solutions for companies to improve the performance of automation, which will have a positive impact on the entire business process:

Auto Scaling-automatic scaling of DevOps (development, inspection and operation Systems).
Expert know-how – a team of highly qualified specialists providing round-the-clock expert service.
Automation GRID is an infrastructure for launching many automation tasks and Blokchejnov for software development.
DevOps Marketplace is a developer application marketplace with ready-made offers for automating application development. Used to create new software and innovate.
Sandbox Univers-templates for running tests and experiments on the development of new technologies blockchain, minimizing problems when installing and running the program.

Once the ICO is completed, the Buddy will launch open source, which helps the blockchain developers unite faster to develop. A simple mechanism for constructing the automation pipelines will be developed for them. The company will launch a ready-to-use DAPPOS development environment. The Distributed Blockchain service allows blockchain developers to focus on their needs and work on what they need.

Why Token

Our Vision is to Tokenize the App

Development Automation Industry BUD is a utility token based on Ethereum (ERC20). It creates a community-driven, decentralized economy in Buddy, the application development automation platform made for developers by developers. It unites developers, experts and users, both SMB and enterprise, in their goal to ship applications safer, faster and of better quality. It’s a disruptive approach to the $110 billion market—a market which is currently rapidly growing to an estimated $330 billion5 in the next 4 years, as customers are looking to scale their development automation operations.The token is remarkably proficient, creating powerful positive feedback loops that can disturb the whole market. It has a series of objectives:

1. To ensure transparency and security for the system’s participants

2. To provide a true & powerful utility

3. To develop strong economic incentives

4. To enhance the platform with the network ownership effect

5. To stand as a source of governance

Governance & the Buddy’s DAO

Besides going open source, Buddy also embraces a network ownership using Buddy’s DAO in which token holders will be able to:

• Curate the DevOps marketplace

• Whitelist nodes participating in the Shared Automation GRID

• Certify 3rd party apps on the DevOps Marketplace

• Remove bad/dishonest actors

• Shape a development roadmap of the platform

• Set bounties for development of features & add-ons
