Prior to the increasing demand of application development in this present digitalized world, the need for a more faster and better method for executing and testing of application building is a paramount necessity for developers. Developers are majorly faced with the challenges of executing thousands of tests every day which usually takes
hours before completion, making it difficult for them to do as much as possible simultaneously due to time factor. The scaling of DevOps infrastructure among other requirements becomes very intensive and will require extensive effort on planning and configuring. Now, with Buddy, the developers and organizations have been eased of the stress and time consumption of maintaining DevOps infrastructure so they can focus on shipping and improving their automation metrics to boost their businesses.

According to the Co-founder of Buddy - Simon Szczepankowski who said in the Buddy Whitepaper:
"We strongly believe in the idea of marketplaces. Buddy is already
present in Github, Docker, Microsoft Azure & Google Cloud
marketplaces, and with great results."
I also believe according to my research, that Team Buddy and its idea can really take the blockchain to its next major height by its encouragement of new and young prospective developers in the community. Buddy with its formidable ideas will definitely help in advancing the blockchain community.
Meet the Buddy Team and you will know they are capable and experienced at what they do.
