Buddy - Using A Triangular Approach Method of Blockchain Solution for Automation and Development of DevOps

Introduction
Buddy as its name suggests, is a friendly Blockchain application development and implementation platform that optimizes the development and creation of applications that use this technology.

Buddy offers its user developers a platform of tools that deals with boring and repetitive parts during development. The parts that have to be done, but that each developer fears.

Established in 2015 with the mission of applying automation vertically in the application development process. Buddy team started working on developing a platform to help reduce the redundant processes that businesses and developers have to do. The goal was to help them focus on what really matters: the real product.

Buddy helps take care of all the boring tasks as it pertains to blockchain application development. This leaves the developers with more opportunity to concentrate on their core product as well as it’s design and user interface, while Buddy helps deploy and maintain their DApps!

Buddy History
In 2007, a team was formed and worked closely together on Springloops. The site provides all the tools required for web development and deployment. Everything they learned from it led them to create Buddy.
In 2015, Buddy was established to help developers "vertically apply automation into the application development process," allowing programmers to focus more on the design process and finishings. It is still part of Springloops as you can clearly see Buddy on the homepage and its bottom links.

Buddy was released in 2016 and have quickly been able to partner with several major tech companies like Google, Github, Microsoft, and more. The platform provides automated solutions to developer problems by solving the issues from the ground level so developers will be assured of a sterling creation upon finalization. By 2017 they have been on the fast track with weekly deliveries of updates and improvements.

In short, Buddy is already an existing platform that developers have successfully been using on various working projects. It offers what I will call "developer bundles" or what they call "actions" or "instances" that programmers need to make their work better, faster and easier. Buddy is really the developer's best friend, it is also "the foundation for the decentralized application development automation."

How Does this Decentralized Application Development and Deployment Platform work?

"For example: A Private GRID of Buddy instances can be used to build an application and run it in a Sandbox for further testing & iterations. Then, dozens (or even hundreds) of Buddy instances from the SAG can run tests against it. In this way, the results can be provided in minutes, not hours."
Buddy has a Peer to Peer network of Buddy instances moderated and curated by its DAO. The platform will also receive reports from nodes if a peer is broken or abusive. When a peer rents a compute unit, the supplier will be given a BUD token once the task is completed.

A requester can set the maximum price they are willing to pay for. The supplier can set the number of compute units to assign and decide on its minimum price and schedule of availability. There are no overhead or token fees for using the PAG or SAG as opposed to using supercomputers. Why? Because tasks are done instantly, off-chain.

Supplier security is also assured as only the approved Marketplace actions can be run on the SAG. One can run actions separately and simultaneously too. Examples are running several pipelines, multiple actions and many tasks at the same time. These can cost anywhere from 2, 4 or 8 compute units.

The SAG is not to be used as a supercomputer though. Remember, it is a separate entity from PAG but both can work together. A SAG is not something you will need to use a large computing power for. Third parties are instead welcome to create supercomputer actions to publish on the Buddy DevOps Marketplace.

All of these are what makes Buddy great for blockchain development. Non-developers usually have no clue what programmer work is for, we just know how to complain when something doesn't work. 😂 Normally we don't need to know, as long as any software, machine or everyday tool we use is working as easily and smoothly as possible. It makes our lives at home and at work easier too.

Developers are the "silent hardworking magicians" making sure the technology we use everyday are efficient. We are now moving into a more technologically advanced and challenging world. Having programming tools like Buddy make their work easier; in turn, it will make everyone's lives better.

Buddy on the Blockchain
Since Buddy makes programming better, it will definitely encourage more developers to work on blockchain technology. More and more decentralized Apps (dApps) are popping up left and right. Buddy can be integrated into them seamlessly and make it work like a charm. This is why Buddy is moving into the blockchain world to help programmers keep up with the times. It's the best tool to assist in the successful blockchain development activities and cooperation of everyone involved in the project.

Blockchain developer issues can be resolved by Buddy with three things: BlockchainOps, dAppOS, and Distributed Blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS).

1 . "Blockchain developers can use the (Buddy BlockchainOps) service to design automation pipelines with ready-to-go actions: from compiling and tests, to deployments, custom scripts, and dApps monitoring."
Sample usage of Buddy BlockchainOps actions are:

2 . dAppOS are development environments that are onhand solutions to start projects based on the blockchain (dApps). It can be also be used as a training ground for blockchain smart contract and/or dApp projects. It has it's own third party developer marketplace too called Template Universe. dAppOS makes use of the SAG, making it cost-effective even for large-scale businesses.

3 . If you need blockchains, get BaaS on-demand from Buddy. It currently supports EOS. They are now working on Ethereum, Multichain, HyperLedger, Ripple and NEM support to make it easy to create multi-chain applications.

With all three combined, this is what the efficient Buddy workflow for dApp development looks like.

In short, Buddy makes the learning and usage of blockchain technology more attractive to developers of various applications.

How will Buddy impact the development and deployment process?
The modern world of software development is extremely advanced, complex and, sometimes, boring. Most programs use multiple layers of applications to deliver the final product. This is true for any device or web applications.

With large teams that work in multiple and diverse programming languages that have to communicate with each other, as well as with the databases, there is a lot of room for errors to occur, and as a result, there is a loss of time and money that should be avoided.

To release the mass adoption of DevOps, a solution must have:
~A culture change approach: use flexibility and excellence to
support cross-teams to achieve their mission objectives and maintain a high level
performance.
~An open model that can serve as a framework for specialized application developers, with the aim of providing quality complements for different stages of development.
~Automatic scaling functions: provide knowledge of what can be downloaded to a public network with respect to the intellectual property and policies of the companies.

To solve these problems Buddy proposes three solutions: Open DevOps Marketplace, Private Automation GRID and Shared Automation GRID.

Open DevOps Marketplace
"An app store for developers by developers with solutions that automate application development". The automation market is the "Appstore" or "Playstore" for web developers. There is a selection of automation scripts, free and premium, that developers can use to automate all kinds of tasks. Developers can also submit their own scripts and win.

Private Automation GRID
A Private Automation GRID is used to run Buddy private instances. The Private Automation GRID will use automatic discovery as well as replication to allow scalability. By using Private Automation GRID, developers and companies will be able to automate the entire development and implementation process. Basically, this means that the process / automation algorithm offered by Buddy can be executed within a local or private hardware environment.

Shared Automation GRID
A Shared Automation GRID is similar to a Private Automation GRID, except that it allows other people in the Buddy network to run some of the instances to download resource-intensive tasks.

The GRID of Private and Shared Automation can be integrated to work with each other.

Buddy features a proven and highly-praised user interface which makes creating and running automation operations incredibly easy.

What is BUD or the Buddy Token?
BUD is a utility coin based on ERC20 (Ethereum).
"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."
The Buddy tokens are given to suppliers who share their compute units. It's the payment from other fellow developers who use Buddy's service within the private or shared automated network. Using Buddy actions requires more than one compute unit to run several actions at the same time so it is definitely a good idea to invest in BUD.

What Does Buddy Provide?

1 . Over 80 Well-crafted Automation Actions (Open Source DevOps Marketplace)
In Buddy, there are free and premium actions developers share or take advantage of. It is also going to be curated by the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Buddy token holders will run DAO. It will protect authors and encourage quality submissions to grow the blockchain community.

Developers can sell or freely share actions they create on the Buddy Marketplace. Other programmers can then purchase or use any of them for free like we do in Google Play and Apple AppStore.
Sample usage of Buddy actions are:
• Automatically fixing a code style depending on the code style selected.
• Improve website quality or run app tests as soon as it is staged.
• Add invisible watermarks to protect images (Oh I'd like that one. 😂)
• App security and encryption
• Increase the quality and security of smart contracts.

2 . Network of Buddy Instances (Private Automation GRID or PAG)
A network can be formed by several Buddy actions or instances. This decentralized GRID can then be used to allow "auto-discovery and replication capabilities to create High Availability auto-scalable infrastructure for development & deployment automation."

3 . Offloading of Highly Complex Automation Tasks via Shared Automation GRID (SAG)

If privacy is not an issue, one can use Buddy instances to share nodes in exchange for Buddy (BUD) tokens. A compute unit is used as a storage part of the SAG and is billed per second. This can either be a minimum of 2 virtual CPUs, 2 GB of RAM or 4 GB of SSD storage. It will only be used in performing requested tasks. Once done, the storage will be released.
