It has taken years of experience for the Buddy Team to understand the challenges of DevOps adoption and to design solutions to overcome them.
Here is an up-to-date list of Buddy solutions to these problems:
Mentality & Culture
- Team empowerment: support of cross-functional teams
- UX designed specifically to lower the entry threshold for all types of team members
- Developers: clear & immediate feedback on every change introduced to the codebase
- QA: Easy management of all kinds of tests
- Project Managers: actionable insight into development processes
- Marketing & Sales: know what is being developed, what is being tested and what is to be delivered next
- Sophisticated user permissions system for advanced, enterprise-ready workflows
Handling Legacy Infrastructure
- The modularity of Buddy enables an evolutionary instead of a revolutionary transition
- Changes can be introduced incrementally by adding new pieces to existing delivery pipelines
- DevOps teams can adopt changes gradually, reducing downtime to zero by full embracement of Continuous Deployment, without need to put production on hold
App Complexity
- Buddy is flexible enough to support both cloud and hybrid solutions
- 70 dedicated automation steps (actions) and integrations allow companies to develop and transform the application in accordance with their policies and solutions architecture
- Support for cutting edge tech such as Docker/Lambda, Functions/Kubernetes or Docker Swarm
- Enterprise version of the service hosted behind a firewall on client’s own servers
- Buddy Enterprise has dedicated integrations with other popular on-premises tools, such as GitHub Enterprise, GitLab CE/EE or Sentry monitoring
Integration of Tools
- Buddy adapts to toolset changes, providing teams with a wide array of integrations to handle their tools of choice
- No ecosystem lock in: For example, the most popular code hosting service in the world is GitHub. However, many teams use Bitbucket or GitLab, or host code locally on private servers. Buddy supports all of these without forcing one solution. Another example are deployments. Depending on the delivery workflow, Buddy allows deployments to bare-metal servers and all popular IaaS/PaaS solutions, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Heroku — again, without narrowing the choice
- There are over 20+ integrations in Buddy currently, with new ones added on a regular basis depending on popular demand
Test Automation
- Buddy delivers a complete test infrastructure allowing developers and QA teams to easily define test environments for every popular programming language and framework — both in the cloud and on- premises — and run all types of tests
- Companies are able to maintain the highest quality of code without slowing down DevOps adoption
- Easy-to-apply test automation (unit, end-to-end & integration tests) as an evolutionary process
- Support for semi-automatic workflows, with some tests performed manually and deployments run on demand
