Buddy is a delivery platform for creating workflows, running build actions and deploying software. Teams can define pipelines through a user interface, YAML or generated code and trigger them from events involving services such as GitHub, AWS and Slack. Deployment options include agent-based and agentless methods, manual approvals, role-based access control and one-click rollback. Build actions can run in containers on Intel or ARM hardware and on Linux, Windows, Mac or NixOS. Visual testing supports Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Figma and Storybook, with multi-browser testing through its NPM CLI. Documented integrations include AWS, Azure, Bitbucket, Cloudflare, DockerHub, GitHub, GitLab, Google Cloud, Jira, Shopify, Slack and Snyk. Buddy can run in the cloud or on customer infrastructure behind a firewall. Its listed security controls include IP blocking, custom roles, group permissions, SAML 2.0, audit logs and enforced 2FA; the company lists SOC 2 Type II certification. A free plan is available; paid plans are 29.00 EUR per month and 99.00 EUR per month. Cloud trials last 14 days, and on-premise trials 30 days.
