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.
Introduction
This paper explains current working product of Buddy. It describes what the Buddy platform is and how it delivers value to its customers.
As an established SaaS business in a rapidly growing market, Buddy is uniquely positioned with:
A blistering product that successfully solves
real-life problems of a $110B market, including
such respected brands as Inc. Magazine,
Docplanner and CGI.
• Partnerships with Google, GitHub, Docker,
Microsoft and Amazon by participating in the
Google Cloud Launcher, GitHub Marketplace,
Docker Store, Azure and (soon) Amazon Web
Services Marketplace respectively.
• The self-hosted Enterprise version of the
platform ready to be used as the foundation
for the decentralized application development
automation.
• Closely-bonded team of 16 working together
for years – most of them partners and
shareholders – proven to deliver high quality
solutions for challenging problems Problems in Adopting DevOps
As already stated in the paper about Buddy's working product, by 2020
half of the CIOs who have not yet transformed their teams’ capabilities
towards automation technologies will be replaced in their organizations’
digital leadership teams.1
DevOps is already the key differentiator for organizations as the
beneficial effects of DevOps go beyond mere financial results. There are,
however, many challenges that companies need to face to fully embrace
the benefits of DevOps.
A survey performed by sandbox specialist Quali indicates that the top
obstacles to successful introduction of DevOps include the respondent’s
company culture (14%), challenges of testing automation (13%), legacy
systems (12%), application complexity (11%), and, among other things,
budget constraints (11%).2

DevOps is already the key differentiator for organizations as the
beneficial effects of DevOps go beyond mere financial results. There are,
however, many challenges that companies need to face to fully embrace
the benefits of DevOps.
A survey performed by sandbox specialist Quali indicates that the top
obstacles to successful introduction of DevOps include the respondent’s
company culture (14%), challenges of testing automation (13%), legacy
systems (12%), application complexity (11%), and, among other things,
budget constraints (11%).2
Historically, corporate lines of business acted as individual units and
didn’t interact with each other unless absolutely necessary.
The shipment usually looked like this:
Developers try to introduce changes as quickly as possible; Operations, or server admins, try to maintain service levels at 100%.
Marketing and Sales try to achieve designated goals without returning client feedback on the product.
The main challenge is to make sure all these groups understand that their goals are shared, not conflicting.
Some organizations are already moving to cross-functional teams aligned to product instead of traditional project man-management.
This means that testers and sales representatives also take part in the development team and collaborative process.
However, as Forrester analyst Robert Stroud says, many IT leaders underestimate the level of cultural and organizational change that is needed to introduce changes: “It requires some fundamental rethinking.
People feel comfortable in the way they’ve been working and not everyone is a change agent.
So you’ll need to find them, bring them forward, and have them drive DevOps forward and articulate the value.”3
App Complexity
The recommended environment for DevOps is the cloud. Cloud
infrastructure gives organizations the optimal scale, flexibility and speed
to build and test apps through highly automated services. There are lots
of providers who offer a full range of DevOps-oriented services and take
infrastructure management off the client. This includes load balancing,
log and instance monitoring and automatic backup/failover.
Unfortunately, according to the Quali survey, over 44 percent of
applications in traditional environments were considered too complex
for the cloud.
For companies used to hosting applications on bare-metal
servers, moving and reproducing the intricate configurations in the cloud
might seem a challenging if not impossible task. Moreover, companies
with strict security and compliance requirements cannot use the benefits
of the cloud as they require things to be kept on-premises.
Running
a DevOps infrastructure internally requires a great deal of configuration,
maintenance and software, not to mention the staff to maintain it all.
Handling Legacy Infrastructure
Applying DevOps requires changes to application structures - mainly
switching to microservices coupled with infrastructures as code, in place
of a monolithic architecture.
In cases of older applications running on servers which sometimes
haven’t been touched in years, this may mean weeks of research just
to consider what needs to be updated and where - and no executive
will ever agree to stop product development for that long, even if the
changes are bound to succeed.
Automation Pipelines
DevOps is a strategy that enables organizations to deliver new features to users as fast and efficiently as possible. The core idea of automation is to create a repeatable, reliable and incrementally improving process for taking software from concept to customer.
The goal of Continuous Delivery is to enable a constant flow of changes into production via an automated software production line.
The Continuous Delivery pipeline is what makes it all happen.Successful adoption of Buddy pipelines is driven by a deep understanding that there is no such thing as a standard pipeline.
This is why Buddy has made its automation pipeline extremely flexible in nature.
How Pipelines Work
The basic building blocks of Buddy are actions. These are steps that Buddy executes in a pipeline.
Each pipeline can have an infinite number of steps.
Users start to build their automation pipelines by choosing the first action that they want to execute and continue from there.On a click of a button, pipelines can be executed on every code push to
a repository, either manually or repeatedly.
This means any DevOps can be handled, such as continuous deployments, monitoring and automated backups of production data. Uses are only limited by your imagination.
