Infrastructure as Code: The Future of Sustainable Development
summary
Defines green software as reducing CO2e through three concrete levers: energy efficiency, reducing embodied carbon from hardware, and carbon-aware computing that shifts work to cleaner-grid times or regions. Shows when code optimization matters with LinkedIn Lite’s 2017 India rollout (42 million users there) and argues optimization is costly to maintain. Promotes Infrastructure as Code for automation, dynamic scaling and region-aware deployment, citing N26 using IaC to make everything updatable, traceable and rapidly patched across regions.
