Buddy Platform - Decentralized Application Development Automation
Introduction
We are lucky. As developers, we are privileged to have built a solution that has quickly become a central part of our fellow developers' workflow. Trusted by teams all over the globe and partnered by world leaders, we have decided to take part in the revolution fuelled by Blockchain tech. Our vision is to become the backbone on which talented people can build world-altering apps & services. The goal is to offload everything from developers that can be automated – giving them back the time for being creative. This paper explains the thriving application automation development industry and summarizes this $110B market. It describes what the Buddy platform is and how it delivers value to its customers. It then outlines plans for introducing key new additions to the service with crowdsaleallocated funds.
The Marketplace Economy
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. 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.
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.
To encourage innovations and support talented developers, the marketplace will be curated to allow only quality submissions to protect authors from copycats. The developers, in return, will help advance the Blockchain community. The submitted plugins will be required to be open-source in the part which is executed on Buddy Instances. The marketplace content curation will be undertaken by a dedicated Decentralized Autonomous Organization run by Buddy token holders.
All Things Private
DevOps is critical to business and, at its core, it cannot fully rely on distributed resources such as home-based computers (fog computing). High latency times, reliability issues and security concerns are a no-go for Enterprises. Instead, Buddy's decentralization happens on top of a trusted infrastructure, with the user in full control of what is trusted.
Auto-Scaling
Once new Buddy instances appear in the network, they automatically decide on their roles. The first two create a master-master replication to create a High Availability system. Every next instance will be used as an agent to run more pipelines in parallel. If allowed, Buddy can create new and remove redundant instances onthe-fly, depending on the load. It can use integrations with IaaS providers for this, such as AWS or Google Cloud, or use other trusted Buddy GRIDs provided directly by Buddy or certified partners. For example: To meet the load demand during the day, Buddy can utilize a user's AWS account to replicate itself outside the private network, and kill those instances once the workday is over - automatically on-the-fly and within set constraints.
The Idea
The idea of the Shared Automation GRID is to offload high-intensive automation tasks to a network of Buddy instances run by users with available resources. Especially in cases were trusted infrastructure is not required.
Discovery of Buddy Instances
Buddy uses its own P2P network whose peers are moderated by Buddy’s DAO. New peers report their address to the organisation, which is later used to fetch lists of peers by other nodes. In addition, nodes can report to Buddy that a peer is broken or dishonest. This may be due to technical issues (e.g. no connection) or due to abuse.
Economy of the Shared Automation GRID
For renting the Compute Unit, the Supplier will be awarded a Buddy token (per second billing) and only when a task is completed. The maximum price that the Requester is willing to pay is settable. However, significant savings are not the only reason to use the GRID. Some scenarios can only be completed by swarms of nodes, such as DDoS attack simulations (confirmation required by the target). Others may require only temporary bursts of resources. For example: making a screenshot of a website on multiple devices after a merge to the stage branch.
Supplier Safety
Only actions accepted in the DevOps Marketplace can be run on the Shared Automation GRID. The actions have to be open-source in order to be reviewed by the DevOps Marketplace curators. This is the first level of GRID protection against abuse. In addition, bad actors will be eliminated by Buddy’s DAO and reporting system, both manual and automated. Moreover, the hosts of Buddy are protected by isolation of the Docker containers.
