The second principle of Sustainable Software Engineering is to build energy efficient applications. The very first step in that direction is to measure the energy cost of your application. This post will answer the question "what is the best way to measure the energy consumption of your apps?".
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 edge d...
On the Sustainable Software blog, there have been a lot of great articles around reducing the environmental impact of software. This article covers a software platform built for helping sustainability. Discover how a team of Open-Source contributors helps an NGO
In my previous post here, I went over how you can use the energy monitoring framework built into Windows (on battery powered devices) to estimate the energy consumption of your applications. In this post, I am taking it a step further and using the energy monitoring framework to evaluate application tradeoffs a developer might make to optimize the...
In June 2020, we shared how Azure.com achieves a global scale and how Sustainable Software Engineering principles were at the center. In this post we discuss how serverless architecture helped us create more sustainable apps and saved us 10x in azure spend for our data pipeline middleware. By shifting our workloads from always-on to on-demand (i.e....
For the past few years, sustainable software engineering has arisen as one of the major topics in the daily discussions I have with software developers. Due to the advancements in technology, as well as the increasing awareness we share on climate change and the overall impact of tech on the environment, sustainable software engineering is now deep...
