Buddy (ICO) - Decentralized Development Automation Platform Using the Blockchain System

Buddy is a winning development automation platform that serves a rapidly growing market valued to become $345 billion by 2022. Over 7,000 developers use Buddy every day across 120+ countries. Featured customers: INC. Magazine, CGI.com & ING Bank. Our vision is to become the backbone on which talented people can build world-altering apps & services. Our goal is to take the load off millions of developers by offloading everything that can be automated – giving them back the time for being creative.

Buddy puts application development on autopilot and makes building apps scalable, creating a decentralized DevOps Marketplace and Automation GRID that challenges how today’s developers build, test & deploy their apps.

BUD is a utility token based on Ethereum (ERC20). 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. It’s a disruptive approach to the $110 billion market—a market which is currently rapidly growing to an estimated $330 billion5 in the next 4 years, as customers are looking to scale their development automation operations

Problems & Challenges

1. Barriers to Development Automation

Application automation development provides a huge boon to organizations, but it is challenging to adopt, because of:

• Mentality & Culture
• Legacy Infrastructure
• App Complexity
• Integration of Tools
• Neglecting Test Automation
• No DevOps Plan
• Lack of Training
• Too Many Tools

2. Difficult scaling - Large teams which use automation as a key differentiator and value driver, struggle to scale up their DevOps infrastructure

3. Obsolete tools - Solutions that come and go can’t continue to innovate and will have to be replaced

4. No solutions for cross - functional teams -Damaging to organizational performance & culture with clashes of attitudes and conflicting goals

Token Sale Goals

• Automation GRID - Decentralized infrastructure for running an infinite number of automation tasks for app development
• DevOps Marketplace - An app store for developers by developers with solutions that automate application development
• BlockchainOps - Development automation bots made for smarter, better & faster Blockchain apps

• Open Ecosystem - Buddy puts openness at its core with open-source goals, community-curated marketplaces and vote-based roadmaps.
• Community - Developers, Experts and Users all connected by the platform in a joint mission to take the load off developers by offloading everything that can be automated.
• Token Economy - Strong token utility embedded into the platform with more than 15 strong token use cases for developers, experts and everyday platform users.

One of our main goals is to have a legacy of helping the Blockchain development community move faster. This is what we believe in. This is why we want Buddy to go open-source after the ICO has been released. Each instance of Buddy will contain the source code of Buddy in an embedded Git repository. It will be used by an existing auto- -update mechanism to build new versions of Buddy, and update the ones currently running

In 2015, Atlassian Marketplace hit $120 million in sales3. In the same year, Envato, the WordPress marketplace, reached $US73 million in revenue4. Buddy knows the economy of marketplaces very well as it is already a part of various ecosystems: Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Github Marketplace, Google Cloud Launcher, and Docker Store.

In the application development landscape a successful marketplace built around an ecosystem is quite typical. All major players, such as Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services, use their marketplaces as a drive to help their communities grow and adopt new solutions.

Starting with smart contract development isn’t simple, even for experienced off-chain developers. There are a couple of major concepts that programmers have to understand before any work can start: the Blockchain itself, EVM, solidity, Geth, and dApps, to name just a few. There are also many myths around Blockchain development, which can create challenges to the adoption of Blockchain technology & the development of smart contracts or dApps. Once just dApps and smart contracts get more complex, bugs and flaws are introduced to the system—waiting to be exploited by bad actors, which may lead to the loss of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies.
