Nowadays, the speed of software products (applications) to change the version has increased, depending on the intercompany competition. Companies and their products have to get quality results to satisfy customers in this race-like environment. Some companies sometimes make dozens or even hundreds of software changes during the day to improve user experience, correct mistakes, or add new features and present them to users in real time. Examples of these companies include Google, Amazon, Twitter and Etsy.

That is why it is now a necessity to produce software with agility. This necessity brought with it the concept of DevOPS.

What is DevOPS?

"Dev" is generally used for software developers, but actually represents a larger community and includes "everyone working for software development". "Ops" has a wider scope than "Dev" and is used for system engineers, system administrators, release engineers, database administrators (DBAs), network engineers, security experts and many other subdisciplines.

In the past, while the "Dev" and "Ops" were working apart from each other, the required agility was of course not achieved. The companies that developed the software were experiencing great inefficiency and eventually the customers were not satisfied with the situation. As a result, delayed projects, defective products, unsuccessful version tests, wasted money and time, together with great reputation loss, emerged.

DevOps has emerged to stop this trend and is based on emphasizing communication, collaboration and integration between software developers (dev) and system administrators (ops). Thanks to DevOps, companies have begun to help software products with IT services be delivered faster and more consistently.

DevOps is a rapidly growing market today. This market will increase to $346 billion by 2022. Also, DevOps Engineers will be the highest paid in the market and 60% of all IT jobs will be cloud-based by 2020. Nowadays many large organizations are all transitioning toward DevOps across their entire enterprise and that makes 2018, The Year of Enterprise DevOps.

Problem Definition

Large organizations run hundreds of builds, tests and other DevOps tasks every day. Some companies execute thousands of tests every day, and all take hours to complete. In order to build and get results faster, they invest heavily in their build infrastructure. As a result, their enterprise DevOps infrastructure is complex, costly and requires 24/7 maintenance.

The other problem is challenge of parallelism. To speed up delivery times and eliminate unnecessary queues, organizations want to do as much as possible simultaneously. However, this requires intensive effort planning and configuring. So, that is another pressure on the infrastructure, as it requires proper isolation.

There are also many myths around Blockchain development, which can create challenges to the adoption of Blockchain technology & the development of smart contracts or dApps. Once just dApps and smart contracts get more complex, bugs and flaws are introduced to the system—waiting to be exploited by bad actors, which may lead to the loss of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies.

Moreover, there aren’t any tools mature enough to assist with Blockchain-specific development tasks or build trust between project sponsors/founders & their developers.

The question is: how to release organizations from the chore of maintaining DevOps infrastructure so they can focus on shipping and improving their automation metrics to boost their business? The other question is, of course, how can we add blockchain technology to this system safely and effectively? The Buddy project gives us the answer to these questions.

What is Buddy?

As an established SaaS business in a rapidly growing market, Buddy is uniquely positioned with a blistering product that successfully solves real-life problems of a $110B market, including such respected brands as Inc. Magazine, Docplanner and CGI. Buddy's partnerships with global companies such as Google, GitHub, Docker, Microsoft and Amazon draw attention.

Buddy Solutions

Buddy has over 80 carefully crafted automation actions that help users develop and deploy software. To further extend accessibility, the platform is open to third party developers, who can deliver their own actions within the Buddy ecosystem and use them in their own development automation pipelines. Just as with Android apps in Google Play, everyone can submit their own actions to the Buddy DevOps Marketplace, free or paid. Buddy itself provides more than 80 built-in actions.

In the same way that Buddy has been successful at introducing development automation to web developers, Buddy is also pioneering development automation of Blockchain-based projects. Buddy allows Blockchain developers to be more productive by letting them focus on building exactly what they need, whether it's a financial application, supply chain tracking, an ICO, document notarization, decentralized authentication, or more.

A user can create a new Blockchain of any supported type with a single click. It’s possible to deploy unlimited Blockchain nodes per Buddy Instance for multi/cross-chain applications.

BUD – The Token

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. The token is remarkably proficient, creating powerful positive feedback loops that can disturb the whole market. 1 BUD value was set at 0.0002 ETH. Total sale supply is from 300 million to 470 million. The final amount will depend on the bonuses that would be applied in the Crowdsale. Maximum 670 million BUD tokens will be generated. The hard cap amount which will be sold in the crowdsale is 60,000 ETH.

60% of BUD created during the ICO is allocated to the contributors. 20% of BUD is allocated to the Buddy Team. 15% of BUD is reserved for new contributors, partnerships & community initiatives, or burned if not necessary.

The Team

Buddy has a very experienced and strong team led by CEO, Product Manager & Co-Founder, Simon Szczepankowski, a SaaS entrepreneur with over 15 years experience in IT. Simon Szczepankowski bootstrapped springloops.com, a Subversion hosting service for web developers that attracted 5000 paying customers from 120 countries. He also managed IT projects for the Dutch Air Force, KLM, Mercedes Benz NL, Ford NL and Merck PL divisions. Other team members' careers are also very successful. The team has highly experienced and talented people in Information Technology and software.

Conclusion:

Buddy is a platform to build a decentralized software and software with blockchain that will be very easy on the road and operated. Buddy is also a revolutionary blockchain-based platform created to facilitate the development of automated applications.
