Buddy Reviews

Advanced, enterprise web development has gone from being a monumental task to something far more manageable thanks to creative software like Buddy. Buddy allows web coding like many other apps, but what sets it apart is its elimination of development and test servers, instead allowing branches to be pushed directly to an instant preview as part of disposable environments. The program features built-in communication between team members to make collaboration easy. Buddy boasts over 7,000 people using the software in more than 120 countries every day. Buddy can be added to existing enterprise infrastructures, such as Digital Ocean, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services EC2, Mac and Linux. The enterprise version of Buddy boasts a 5-minute set up, instant updates and backups, enhanced security features, integration with Git providers, better technical support, and support for Google Cloud, Kubernetes and Rackspace. Handy documentation, including community forums and a robust knowledge base, are available on the Buddy web site.
