Role of Performance Engineering in Designing Carbon Efficient Applications

March 15th, 2021

What is performance testing ? Performance engineering is a software engineering discipline that deals with the techniques, processes, and metrics to make our applications more performant. It is a technique by which we tune the code that we write by measuring against the nonfunctional requirements, such as performance under a certain ...

Adopting Azure serverless architectures to help reduce CO2 emissions – Part 2 (Extending to the Edge)

January 25th, 2021

  In the previous part of the serverless architecture post for the Contoso Claim processing application, we built two components. In this iteration, we will make the architecture more sustainable by using Edge computing. Edge computing is a paradigm that brings the compute, storage, and intelligence right down to the ...

Adopting Azure serverless architectures to help reduce CO2 emissions – Part 1

December 7th, 2020

The article explains how serverless architectures can be used to enable sustainable software engineering principles. It takes a sample claim processing system and provides a thought process on how to use Azure serverless components like functions and Event grid to build out a reference architecture and showcase key design patterns.
