Buddy

Buddy is a software tool for web developers designed to lower the entry threshold to DevOps. It allows delivery pipelines to build, test, and deploy software. Buddy is created with over 100 ready-to-use actions that can be arranged in any way just like you build a house of bricks.

Buddy was launched as a downloadable VM in May 2015 under the name “Meat”. Initially, service was free but employed a proprietary license which stirred some concern in the web development community. It was renamed to Buddy in November 2015 and released as a cloud-based service.

Buddy Features:

Application Development
App Building
Continuous Integration

Buddy Function:

Deployment:

Deployment is a sensible place to begin. Buddy is a Software as an application (SaaS) based process, meaning there is nothing to get running on your side. You simply click a couple of buttons and you’re away.

Maintenance:

Buddy had a in-built maintenance service, which means you don’t need to actively maintain it. This is covered as part of your subscription.

Integrations:

Buddy comes prepackaged with a plethora of integrations that have been developed in house. As such, plugins don’t interfere with one another and quality can be assured centrally. Deploying to AWS Lambda or to Kubernetes is a button click away.

Advantage:

• Buddy had a few little niggles here and there but support has solved them within a day or two at most. Love the fact that it can create and deploy a new micro-service in under 30 minutes.
• Setting up and integration in a buddy is fully automated and it is flexible and saves a lot of time for developers and programmers. It’s been very reliable, fast, and effortless to use.
• Operations and support under Buddy are worth mentioning in advantages as no DevOps based service provides that much flexible service. The system under Buddy is performing well in daily usage.
• Buddy is easy and flexible. New Developers can easily learn and perform. Many users are moving towards Buddy because of its flexibility and simplicity.

Disadvantages:

• Requirements regarding hardware can be high if you are using Docker, but that is more of a problem related to Docker. Renewal is a manual of LetsEncrypt SSL with the help of the CLI tool on the server.
• Sometimes it can be difficult to handle all the internal of the system. If Developer can get off every detail than only we can find or say that working on Buddy is simple.
• Lack of proper documentation or training videos on this tool. However it is easy to set up some part of it, sometimes its really hard to find the help and configure something custom.
• The only thing that we didn’t like was the number of projects that you can have in the free version but that doesn’t justify the overall quality of the service.
