Architecting for Sustainability: A Software Architects Guide to Green Software, with Eoin Woods, at Codecamp_Cluj 2024
As awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability grows, it becomes more important to consider the environmental impact of software systems, particularly as we introduce compute-hungry AI features into our applications.
In this talk, we take a software architect’s perspective and review the current state of software sustainability (or “green software”) and identify practical actions that we can take to understand and reduce the environmental impact of our systems.
The talk explains why software systems have an environmental impact, introduces some architectural tactics and patterns to use to reduce the environmental footprint of an application and its AI models, and briefly discusses how to go about measuring the “carbon intensity” of our systems.
