Eco-design is great, but what about the backend?
summary
The talk examines eco-design for web backends, identifying which backend factors most affect energy consumption: programming languages, frameworks, communication protocols, databases, ORMs like Hibernate, and developers' SQL skills. It explains which metrics to monitor for server-side energy use and how to convince stakeholders to adopt backend eco-design, offering practical arguments and best practices (notably without suggesting extreme measures like rewriting deployment scripts in C).
