The Mission

To take the load off millions of developers by offloading everything that can be automated giving them back the time for being creative.

Industrial Problems

Barriers to adoption
Development automation can provide great value but adoption can be challenging because of the complexity of applications, ingrained culture, and too many tools it uses.
Obsolete tool
Solutions that can come and go can not continue to innovate and should be replaced better.
Scaling is difficult
Large teams that use automation as the key differentiator and value driver, are struggling to improve their DevOps infrastructure.

Opportunities

$110 Billion Market
Expected to grow to $345 billion by 2022.
Astronomical ROI
Medium-to-large high performers can save more than $30M yearly.
Huge boon to organizations
A key differentiator and value driver that can benefit all companies.

The Solution

Buddy streamlines the entire application development & deployment process. It frees up developers’ time for creativity and innovation as well as drastically improving and easing their workload.

Third-party Actions from The DevOps Marketplace

The Benefits for Token Holders

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 billion 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 :

To ensure transparency and security for the system’s participants
To provide a true & powerful utility
To develop strong economic incentives
To enhance the platform with the network ownership effect
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

Token Users

Developers

Publish development & deployment automation add-ons to the DevOps Marketplace and provide seamless dev environments to the Sandbox Template Universe.

Experts

Provide semi-automated services such as manual code audits and certification that can be easily integrated with the Continuous Delivery pipelines of the platform users.

Users

Automate and scale operations with development & deployment automation pipelines created with actions from the DevOps Marketplace; reduce development friction with dAppOS environments; scale operations with the Private and Shared Automation GRID and lower their costs by sharing available resources during slack periods with the Shared GRID.
