Buddy
DevOps & Platform Engineering Suite
Buddy is a DevOps and platform engineering suite for building, testing, deploying and operating applications across mixed infrastructure, including cloud, VPS, bare metal and CDNs. It addresses the need to automate delivery workflows while avoiding vendor lock-in, supporting deployments to many targets with change-aware builds, one-click rollbacks, manual approvals and RBAC.
Core capabilities include cache-optimized CI/CD pipelines defined through a UI or YAML, containerized actions across Intel, ARM, Linux, Windows, Mac and NixOS, and event triggers from GitHub, AWS, Slack and servers. It provides automated environments in Buddy's cloud, AWS or local networks, visual testing with Playwright, Selenium and Cypress, secure tunnels, domain and DNS management with automated SSL, and a Dev Cloud for running applications on MicroVMs and static sites. Integrations include Figma, Storybook, Terraform, OIDC, SAML and OAuth.
Buddy is aimed at developers and platform engineering teams. It offers a free plan with limited seats, concurrency and usage allowances, alongside paid editions that add seats, concurrent jobs, pipeline and sandbox usage, advanced permissions, SSO and other features. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card.
