Introduction
Thousand of organizations/companies are finding it difficult implementing development automation(not withstanding the present day digitalization) and this is not a job for a single party to provide an automation that can at least cover all popular programming language, framework and services. This has also been one of the challenge encountered by large teams using DevOps as their key differentiation where the get to struggle and squize through in order to pull up their operational infrastructure.

A little research has proven that a great percentage of organization /companies run(execute) thousands of tests every day but it sometimes turn out to spring forth quick result in delays in delays for hours and looking at this on a business perspective you can see with me that this is a minus on the reputation of such organization, and this big organizations /companies turn to investigate heavily in their infrastructure and by so doing their enterprise DevOps infrastructure is complex and costly and as such requires a lot of maintenance. These also retards their growth in the business firm for instance ,a lot of times such organization and companies turn to have a long line of waiters and their services is very low so you can agree with me that this requires intensive configuration and good planning in order to perform numerous functions (chores) which are expected of a function my organization in order to covert the controlling of there working good development frequency. New improved features fixes volume and customer ticket volume
Time from developments to developments
Reduced percentage of failed devepments mean time to recovery
And availability etc

From these little I've put together you can see to it that in order for any organization to progress and give fast performance, they have a lot of chores to do, but the big question is, Seeing from past attempts, and the load it carries,
How can at least most of these chorse be released of at list maintaining DevOps infrastructure and let them (the organization) focus on shipping and improving their automation metrics to boost their business.

Today I bring to you a project called
Buddy (the name itself sounds interesting) okay to answer the question I assume you have now which could be, what is buddy, why Buddy or what does it do? Well be getting those answers as we go one.
Buddy; is a block chain application development and deployment platform which modernizes and makes the development and alliance aspects of building application on the block chain more efficient. This platform provides it users (developers) with a clear advantage although it benefits is mostly understood by developers but either way's it really simple. This platform takes care of the time consuming and hectic part of developing.

simple analysis

Let me Sight a simple use case that can suit even a lay man's understanding;
App development could be compared to preparing a delicious and good looking recipe buddy could serve as a helper, that goes into the market grabs all the required spices, prepare why need to be prepared boil what need to be boiled the developers would be the chef doing the actual cooking process, here you see that chef has been relieved of a lot of stress thus fostering concentration on putting together a delicious and good looking meal .so from my little comparison the function of buddy is well analysed where you see Buddy taking care of time consuming and hectic tasks of the blockchain application development thus allowing the developers with more opportunity to concentrate on their core products while buddy helps to prepare, arrange and maintain the D-Apps

the strategy :

The DevOps marketplace:
buddy is enabled with close to a hundred crafted automation which helps in development and deployment of software, these actions therefore makes building, deploying and testing a matter of few clicks. To juice things up, they extend accessiblily to third party developers who can deliver their own action within the Buddy ecosystem and use them in their own development pipeline where they can submit their actions to the Buddy DevOps marketplace free or paid.
let's take a look at the market place economy :

we see that Buddy applications devepment landscape is quite similar to all major players such as google cloud, or amazon web service........
It requires developers who want to participate in the market place all free usage of their application by non commercial open sourced projects this helping the whole blockchain technology ecosystem to prosper.
Another approach is the

private automation grid

The private automation grid is embedded with a network of buddy instances that will use auto_discovery and replication capabilities to create high availability to auto scalable infrastructure for automation developments and arrangement. The minute new buddy instances appears in the network ,they automatically decided on the roles for example to meet the load demand during the day buddy can take advantage of users Aws account to replicate itself outside the private network, so in a nut shell this implies that The automation process offered by buddy can be operated either private hardware environment
Buddy also brings to you the

Shared automation grid :

A compute unit is the smallest entity that can be assigned as a node of the shared automation grid in exchange for a bud token by instance owners, the shared automation grid serves in offloading chores to a network of instance run by users with ready resources. Te specifications range is 2v CPU 2GB of ram and 4GB of ssd storage.........
this storage is required only to perform requested tasks, keep the result and transfer then to the data base as soon as the tasks is finished ,the storage is released.

The "collabo"

'Private' against 'shared'(automation grid)

large organizations cannot rely on swarm based supper computer's for major devepment automation, rather Buddy records alot of instances where the shared automation grid can run various kinds of tests e.g integration, end-to-end, acceptance etc in a matter of minutes and not not hours
In comparison we can derive that the (PAG) private automation grid is used to deploy software, but the SAD(shared automation grid) I'd used to run series of tests on the software

Let's also throw a little light on the

shared automation grid economy

Here suppliers are awarded with Buddy tokens i.e per second billing for renting the computer unit and this is delivered only when the task is completed and the price (maximum) that a requester wishes to pay is flexible, although that's not the only reason one should patronise thecuse if the grid ,there is always some instance where some may receive only temporary burst of recourses some other can only be completed by swarm of nodes such as the DDOS attack similulations. The user experience is proven and highly praise durcti the fact that buddy make creating and running automation operation easier, there are no over head charges and thus waves away the challenge of using a suppercomputer which could be technically faulty and can put projects at risk Buddy's

contribution to the blockchain ecosystem

So far there has emerged a lot of myths around blockchain devepment which can raise challenges to the adoption of the blockchain technology, but here buddy comes with there strong platforms which will eliminate such challenges i.e blockchainops,..............
Beginning with smart contract development isn't a small bone to chew even for experienced developers moreover there aren't any took capable of assisting with blockchain specifications devepment tasks.

Buddy strategy

Blockchainops
Buddy :
also extends it umbrella of automation development to blockchain based projects were users can use this service to design smart automation pipelines from compiling and testing, to deployment and Dapps monitoring and this process gas been reduced to the list understanding .......
Dappos
Been DDT introduces ready for use development environment called dAppos as a solution for bootstrapping blockchain_based project like DApps ,this platform use's docker_based sand boxes combined with native content to combine front-end and back end stacks with trust logic residing on blockchain and can easily be extended with additional services such as G.oogle......
Distributed blockchain as a service:
Here Buddy allows users to be more productive by letting them four on building just what they need in one click ,
Let me answer the question ; how ?
This is done by adding Buddy instance from shared automation grid ,encouraging network of nodes that can be used to Bootstrapnew block chain emerges. Buddy fill blockchain with millions of blocks that can be used to test against the Baa5 automatically via buddy pipeline........
So with.......released to the blockchain industry it reduces the barrier that limited developers to use the blockchain technology in application development

Bud tokens

The question arises, why tokens?
One of buddies contribution to blockchain is a "tokenieze" app development automation industry with objectives to;
.....

Buddy funds

Funds successfuly raised during the Buddy ico will be used for the development of decentralized app development and deployment platform that features a private and shared automation grid and also the DevOps marketplace to making Buddy open sourced likewise technologies for blockchain app development. Moreso, buddy aims at being the 'go-to' place for learning blockchain devepment skills for existing and upcoming programmers by granting a free access to the Buddy platforms.

Buddy in history

Buddy came to existence in 2015 so you see that this is not a new rootless project, it's aim is at developing a platform to help reduce redundant processes that companies and developers had to face thus allowing them to concentrate on making their products better
Buddy for long has been in good partnership with big-names like google github and others

Meet

conclusion

Buddy's existence as developers is to help fellow developers by building a solution that has quickly become a tool that will speed up services and equally take part in the revolution fuelled by the blockchain technology
In one phrase, I would say "that blockchain is #legit "
