Buddy ICO review

What is Buddy ICO all about?

In a nutshell, Buddy is a “Decentralized Development Automation Platform”. However, that’s a tad bit heavier on the technical side. Let’s make it simpler. Buddy is basically a decentralized platform for developers through which they help them with building and deploying software and apps. They make it easier for developers by making the entire process automated with a host of features that are developer friendly including 80 carefully crafted automation actions that help users develop and deploy software.

Case study

This helps the businesses in working more efficiently allowing developers to develop and upgrade custom apps with greater ease and making it scalable. Buddy platform also aims at creating a decentralized software development and operations marketplace further benefiting developers and businesses. Moreover as decentralized apps using blockchain technology are getting increasingly popular with businesses and developers Buddy platform also offers automation steps dedicated to blockchain apps. So, Buddy is a platform which is all about effectively facilitating development and deployment of apps.

Buddy ICO project is developing an open DevOps marketplace

While Buddy already has around 80 defined actions that help automate the app development and deployment process the platform is also creating a marketplace where everyone can submit their own “actions” to the Buddy’s DevOps Marketplace. “Buddy will help third-party developers make a profit by charging for their solutions submitted to the DevOps Marketplace, at the same time allowing them to publish plugins for free. It will require that the authors who want to participate in the marketplace allow free usage of their apps by non-commercial open-source projects, thus helping the whole Blockchain technology ecosystem grow.” They are also strict with the published content as only original entries will be posted after a careful vetting. The marketplace will definitely enhance the functionality of the Buddy platform as well as it allows for a steady and scalable revenues stream.
