Automation is sure taking a new level of growth, many aspect utilizing automation technology.
Event in software development they implementing automation to check on their software to stress it and check an error out of it.
So Buddy making  good decision for making an automation project.

This is basically a decentralized development environment? What makes it automated?

when exchange, so i can buy at lower than ico price

Do you guys have any plans to combat token volatility in any way?

Be part of the sharing economy. Join the Automation GRID, develop or sponsor apps for the DevOps Marketplace and earn on their each usage

It's very easy to be part of the sharing economy. Just click a button and your Buddy instance will do everything for you

How does the affect volatility? Sorry, not sure I understand.

[celestio]

Are you guys doing any exciting promotions? I've noticed a lot of new ICO's doing giveaways and stuff on Twitter.

[Crypto_Man1212]

How does the token economics work on a project like this? First I've seen anything like it to be honest.

Our first line of defence against token volatility is making it easy to earn the token thanks to being part of our Automation GRID. If you need a few tokens daily to run your development automation you can use those that you earned when your idle server was working for someone else. It maybe not enough, but it helps reduce effects of the token price changes. There are a few other ways to earn the tokens, all is described in our whitepaper.

This is basically a decentralized development environment? What makes it automated?

Thank you for the question!

It's a decentralized development platform which offers both: development automation and development environments (for testing, staging and previews).

When it comes to what makes it automated, I will use an example. Let's assume that there is a company called Rentcherry.
Rentcherry is an example of a Decentralized Home Rental Platform. It
leverages blockchain technology to provide seamless rental experience.

The platform stack consists of:

• Node.js for the front-end page
• Spring Framework, Java, for the back-end logic
• Truffle, an Ethereum development framework, for their smart
  contract which handles trust logic of multi-party rental agreements
• Slack for team communication
• Sentry for error tracking
• DigitalOcean droplet for front-end page hosting
• Amazon Elastic Beanstalk for back-end application hosting
• Amazon S3 for large media files such as tutorial videos
• Ethereum Blockchain which runs their smart contract
• IFPS for storing data that requires an immutable distribute
  data store

Rentcherry uses several pipelines to handle their development workflow,
each for development, staging and production. In this example we will
analyze their staging pipeline.

Rentcherry Staging Pipeline



Steps Description

• Slack Notify the Team that a new staging release has just
  been initiated
• Node.js Build and test the front-end application with
  an npm test
• Gulp Minify CSS, optimize images and encode videos to an
  optimal format
• S3 Deploy all static assets to the Amazon S3 bucket &
  invalidate outdated CloudFront objects (optional)
• DigitalOcean Deploy the Node.js app to the DigitalOcean droplet
• Maven Run Maven to build and test the back-end
• Securify Run Securify analysis—an example of how
  continuous security testing can easily become a part
  of a proper Continuous Delivery pipeline
• Truffle Run truffle compile in a preconfigured Truffle
  environment, launch a TestRPC & execute truffle test.
  Once finished, kill the TestRPC
• Rinkeby Deploy the smart contract to the Rinkeby Testnet for
  staging. This action also passes the address of the
  deployed contract to the next action
• Amazon Elastic Beanstalk Push the artifacts from the Maven action to Amazon
  Elastic Beanstalk with the previously deployed smart
  address set in the back-end configuration file
• Verify Compare the smart contract’s source code from the
  repository with what has been actually deployed to the
  blockchain (additional safety check)
• IFPS Deploy legal documents such as terms of service to
  IFPS (only if changed)

This pipeline, with all its steps, is executed on every push to
the stage branch, meaning that the application is ready for final testing
and is close to production release. This is what makes it automated.

Also, the platform itself maybe called automated as it has auto-scaling features: pages 60 & 62 in our whitepaper.

Incredibly detailed overlook on what it takes to build a decentralized platform. This is awesome!! I just bought a textbook on building Ethereum decentralized platforms for $60 and they don't have any examples as high quality as this sadly.

So is it really decentralized if it is hosted on Amazon's servers?

I decided to check out Buddy first hand at https://buddy.works, and I have to say I'm blown away. The utility even so early on is miles ahead of what we're using at my work. As soon as I get back Monday I'm scheduling a meeting with my team lead and showing him and hopefully we will be able to implement it department wide. That's how good this app is!

[xoof]

Those are some huge partners. I freaking love the verify button too. You can clearly see and verify you guys are not just pulling these big brands out of no where and claiming them as partners. Is there someone on the team that has worked with these companies before and had good contacts to get the partnerships?

[Dipsomaniac]

I just tested Buddy's integration with amazon web services. I have to say, it is very deep and and supports all AWS services that I'm using at work. I definitely plan to play with it more.

What language is Buddy written in and why?
