Introduction

Over time, the Human race have always adapt to any change they find themselves, and with each change, they have evolved and maintain their survival. One of such changes is civilization, and one of the significant tools that have aided Human adaptation to this condition is "Technology".

The rate at which this tool have grown over the years is really stunning, but there is a single component of technology that has found it's way across majority of the world's population, and this is the “Computer”.

Computers have enjoyed amazing growth since it was first introduced, and as of now, there are cheap and more portable computers, as low as mobile smart phones that help to satiate the basic needs of many people, and as it is, we all know that for these devices to function appropriately, Application software are required.

However, the process of developing these Apps for use is an herculean task. Aside the fact that developers would deal with time and cost barrier, the challenge of security and checking for errors is something that requires a minimum of thought, because once an error is detected in the framework of the application, the product would certainly be condemned by the public.

Therefore, to avert this situation, developers are being demanded to carry out series of real life test and also get approval and certification for external programmers. On close looking at this, it is clear that with a bigger company or organization, there is a constant need for every hour configuration and maintenance, and this exposes them into paying too much to achieve a rather more inconsistent results.

This is the case that led to the emergence of a decentralized application automation ecosystem known as BUDDY.

What Is BUDDY?

BUDDY is an existing ecosystem that is introducing a platform that will aid in the development and deployment of applications/software. It is a decentralized development automation platform that emerged to tackle and eradicate the problems that most developers are faced with in their aim to create applications which is due to the abundant workload they have and the high possibility of errors in infrastructure.

It is important to note that with BUDDY doing these, it will only charged a little transaction fee as against the one organizations and companies pays consultants and also minimize the time spent by developers on the framework of the application or software they intend on building.

While doing this, BUDDY would aid in the growth of the blockchain technology and increase its popularity and adoption. Thereby, introducing more market to the application development and deployment sector as it has created a friendly and easy to use platform for all parties involved.

Why BUDDY?

The worth of businesses is with shipping and not configuration or maintenance, therefore in a bid to allow organizations to focus on shipping and how to improve their automation metrics, BUDDY will handle the process of maintaining the DevOps framework of these organizations. In so doing, these organizations will boost and improve their businesses.

Buddy's Solutions To The Problems

The method of operation of the BUDDY ecosystem is built around solving problems associated with automated application development and deployment and this will be done through the following 3 methods.

The Open DevOps Marketplace: In a bid to ensure a smooth and easy development and deployment of applications, BUDDY has put in place a series of automation processes totalling over 80, to help participants. These processes are designed in a easy way that even complex applications and multi-cloud workflows are developed and deployed by a few clicks.

In a bid to also make the scheme open for all interested users, BUDDY made a DevOps market place for external developers to build their software within the BUDDY ecosystem. Through this, the growth and adoption of new solutions within the ecosystem is promoted, hereby outlining the significance of a marketplace.

However, in order to encourage innovative concepts and inspire talented developers, the marketplace will be curated in order to only reward quality submissions and also protect original authors from imitators.

The developer in return will aid the advancement of the blockchain ecosystem through making all their submissions open source.

Private Automation Grid: The concept behind this solution is to create a system of Buddy instances that will utilize the auto-discovery and replication capability to produce high availability auto-scalable framework for automating development and deployment.

Since the DevOps is fundamental to business functionality, its security, reliability, and high latency is of high concerns for organizations, but with BUDDY help, users are in control of its resources.

The Buddy instances are automatically controlled, that once a new one appears, their roles are automatically decided. Buddy will use integration with IaaS providers or any other trusted GRID to produce and remove extra instances instantly.

Shared Automation Grid: Buddy will utilize this solution to offload automated high intensive task to other instances run by users with available resources. This is required in most cases where trusted framework is not needed.

The compute unit which will be the basis of the Shared Automation Grid, is the smallest component that can be tasked as a node of the SAG in exchange for a BUD token. So for a user to use the high intensive task, he must own a compute unit.

The BUDDY Token

The BUDDY ecosystem currency will be the BUD token, it is an ERC20 enabled token that will be used by all participants of the Buddy ecosystem to carry out operations. It will have over 15 use cases but the major ones being for selling scripts in the automated market, rewarding approved developers, and used to make payments for the purchase of an App on the marketplace.

Conclusion

It is a known fact that software development and deployment isn't an easy task for organizations, as it create less time for these organizations to focus on the valued entity of their businesses which is shipping.

The BUDDY ecosystem is out to address this shortcomings, and with verified partnership with companies that we come in contact with in our everyday activities one way or the other like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Github, and Docker, as well as an existing product with a readymade market and customers, it is clear that BUDDY is ready to revolutionize the software development and deployment sector, therefore, I think it would make a lot of sense investing in this project.
