BuddyUp: Blockchain into Development Automation

The companies and business firms all over the globe spend a good amount of their capital and time upon Development and Software Operations (DevOps). The age of digitalization and the spread of Internet has made the things easier for the individuals as well as enterprises across the globe. But some parts have turned complicated too. DevOps is one of them. The firms execute thousands of testings everyday along with other DevOps tasks.This is quite time consuming. And to speed up these processing, these companies spend a big amount of money in developing and advancing their DevOps infrastructure. Overall, DevOps ecosystem is expensive, time consuming, complicated and requires 24×7 maintenance facilities. In addition to this, the business value lies in shipping, not in developing and maintaining the things. The challenge of parallelism comes in scene too.To make the delivery process faster, the enterprises try as a much as they can to eliminate the unnecessary complications. Along with running multiple pipelines at the same time, they also execute processes within pipelines too. This system and infrastructure needs high effort , efficiency and configuration. And it add additional pressure on the DevOps, i.e., proper isolation.

The Solution

Individuals and organizations made effort to solve the above described challenges. Development automation is one of those techniques evolved as a result. But enterprises find it difficult to adopt as it is quite difficult for a single platform to provide automation covering all the aspects from programming languages to services including Blockchain Technology. Large teams often struggle to scale their operational processes. Buddy comes with an innovative solution. Buddy aims at offloading developers by making everything automated so that they can focus on the creative processes. Buddy offers three practical solutions as described below:

1.The DevOps Marketplace

Buddy possesses more than 80 efficient automation techniques and actions capable of helping developers to develop and deploy software solutions. The actions are properly arranged into pipelines which leads to building, testing and deploying time efficient. This decentralized system is also open to third party developers to increase the accessibility. Decentralized Autonomous Organization run by Buddy Token holders will take care of the marketplace.

2.Private Automation Grid

It aims to create a network or a grid of Buddy instances capable of developing high availability infrastructure which will be auto-scalable via the usage of auto-discovery and replication techniques.

3. Shared Automation Grid
This aims at offloading automation tasks/actions to a network of Buddy instances run by the platform users. This could be used in the cases where trusted infrastructure is not mandatory.

Buddy Token Sale
Buddy intends to tokenize the app development automation sector by the integration of BUD tokens in its platform. BUD is an ERC 20 compliant type utility based token. The usage of tokens will ensure transparency in the marketplace along with generating a trustworthy network. The maximum total supply equals to 670 million. The ICO period will start from 1st August 2018.

Buddy Roadmap
Buddy started its journey in third quarter of 2016. It has come a long way launching its Beta Version too. The Token sale is going to take place soon. By the last quarter of 2019, we can witness the launch of Shared Automation Grid.

Buddy Team
The Buddy Team is an expert one guiding the research and development of the project.Simon Szczepankowski is the Chief Executive Officer as well as the co-founder of the venture.Raphael Sztwiorok,Thomas Korwin-Gajkowski,Martin Kudla,Michael Hankus and many more are also contributing to the project according to their roles.

Conclusion
Buddy has come with a quite appreciable solution and provides a ray of hope to the developers struggling with DevOps complications and maintenance obstacles. The project is going soon to have its ICO period. If everything goes good, we can expect a working model soon.
