Fighting Climate Change by Building Sustainable Software • Ioannis Kolaxis • GOTO 2022

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Amsterdam 2022. #GOTOcon #GOTOams http://gotoams.nl Ioannis Kolaxis - Software Architect / Distinguished Expert at Atos @ioanniskolaxis ABSTRACT Thought that your software applications do not have any impact on the environment? Guess again! Your applications run on servers that consume electricity, commonly generated by burning coal/oil/gas, all of them producing carbon dioxide (CO2), the main driver of climate change. This session provides practical guidelines on how to reduce the environmental footprint of your applications. It is assumed you are involved in building software applications and aspire to help prevent climate change [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:11 You can fight climate change! 01:50 Climate change: What is the problem? 02:18 Who emits the most carbon? 03:16 IT's impact on climate change 04:02 Finding the best route 04:41 Data networks: How can we consume less electricity? 06:41 Journey to decarbonization 07:02 Data centers: How can we consume greener electricity? 09:20 Using redundant servers 12:03 Leveraging containers 13:03 Modern cars with Start/Stop 13:55 Consuming resources although the app is idle 14:25 Rearchitecting apps 15:55 Serverless 19:55 Which programming language is most energy-efficient? 21:22 Java in the spotlight 23:45 Less is...green 25:33 Sustainability 26:37 The green software book 27:12 Summary 29:26 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotoams.nl/2022/sessions/1926 RECOMMENDED BOOKS Ioannis Kolaxis • 101 Green Software • https://www.kolaxis.dev/book-green-software Mehdi Khosrow-Pour • Green Computing Strategies for Competitive Advantage and Business Sustainability • https://amzn.to/2YXbI7j Lässig, Kersting & Morik • Computational Sustainability • https://amzn.to/3APBW8r Zbigniew H.
