Buddy: A DevOps Marketplace for Better Future

DevOps or application automation is often a very inconvenient thing. Automation systems must be constantly monitored and improved in order to provide optimal service. In fact, the current automation still involves a lot of man-hours and very expensive fees. A company often devotes too much effort to this technology; they forget that there are still some important things beyond that that must be kept in hand.

The Problems

Through blockchain technology, Buddy tries to offer a more reliable solution for application automation. Buddy will allow application developers to be done openly. That is, all DevOps developers can offer the best solution to a company within the ecosystem. However, this kind of thing is not easy to do. Companies will often work with a group of trusted developers instead of entrusting their projects to a like-a-freelancer platform. In addition, another issue that both companies and developers have to face is about the technology itself. The blockchain is not a well-known technology. The blockchain is a technology that is still considered new and less secure.

When talking about blockchain, developers will be exposed to the complexity of the technology. Developers will not only focus on the applications they will handle, but they also have to adapt to some complex blockchain support systems. The complexity of the blockchain system is made for comfort and security together.

The developers and company owners of the application are also faced with a fairly new support system. This results in developers working slower because they have to learn those new systems. The immature system also raises doubts about the owner of the application. They worry that their app will not work optimally or even have a weak security system. Some myths such as unstable performance or crashes are also a major obstacle to the use of blockchain in DevOps.

Payments also become another obstacle facing companies and third parties (developers). Cryptocurrency is a technology, which for some people is still considered an unauthorized means of payment. Digital currencies are often still regarded as a system made for the unilateral advantage (the platform). Many people still feel uncomfortable with this technology; they prefer to use fiat that clearly has legality, usefulness, and a good exchange rate.

The Solutions

Basically, Buddy is a DevOps marketplace that brings together developers and app owners (authors). This platform allows developers to offer the best automation technology for specific applications. Because blockchain is a transparent technology, both apps owners and developers of DevOps are required to provide free-use versions of each technology. Both technologies will be fully protected by Buddy's smart contracts. Smart contracts will govern the use and protection of intellectual property rights of each technology.

Buddy users cannot download or steal other people's technology unnoticed by the owner. Any use of any application, plug-ins, or other related technologies will be automatically notified to the owner. This system will bring together the technology owners. Use of each user's technology will be charged. Each user will pay using a BUD token. Buddy has prepared everything that will make it easier for everyone in the Buddy ecosystem to use their own tokens. However, Buddy cannot guarantee the legality and stability of the exchange rate from BUD token.
