Principles, patterns, and practices

As we immerse ourselves further into the topics we have been discussing, we become increasingly aware of the profound influence technology has on both our environment and society. In response, a symbiosis of sustainability and technology is yielding innovative principles, patterns, and practices. These are not merely trends but guiding forces shaping a more sustainable framework for software engineering.

In Chapter 1, we established definitions for key terms that are crucial to the development of green software practices: Digital Carbon Footprint and Carbon Proxies. These terms are central to forming a corpus that begins to delineate the extent of the environmental challenges we face in digital operations. They serve a dual purpose: they are the building blocks for a standardized language and essential for discourse on minimizing the environmental footprint of technology, and they ensure that our strategies are comparable and replicable across...
