BUDDY

We are lucky. As developers, we are privileged to have built a solution that has quickly become a central part of our fellow developers' workflow. Trusted by teams all over the globe and partnered by world leaders, we have decided to take part in the revolution fuelled by Blockchain tech.

Our vision is to become the backbone on which talented people can build world-altering apps & services. The goal is to offload everything from developers that can be automated – giving them back the time for being creative.

This paper explains the thriving application automation development industry and summarizes this $110B market. It describes what the Buddy platform is and how it delivers value to its customers. It then outlines plans for introducing key new additions to the service with crowdsaleallocated funds.

Problem Statement

Organizations battle with implementing development automation, despite its revolutionary potential. This is because :

Appllication Automation (DevOps) is a huge boon to organizations but is challenging to adopt
The huge amount of various tech, stacks and workflows means it is too difficult for a single party to provide the seamless automation to cover all the popular programming languages, frameworks and services - including Blockchain tech
Large teams using DevOps as a key differentiator and value driver, struggle to scale their operational infrastructure

Our Vision - An Outline

The value derived from development automation applies to all IT organizations. To unleash mass DevOps adoption, a solution must have :

A culture-shifting approach – using flexibility and excellence to support cross-teams to reach their mission goals and maintain highlevel performance
An open model that can serve as a framework for skilled app developers to provide quality add-ons for differing stacks of development automation
Auto-scaling features - providing awareness of what can be offloaded to a public network with respect to the company's intellectual property and policies
