Green Metrics is a tool to measure energy impact and CO2 equivalent of your workloads. This is still an experimental tool, so don't run it in production, please.

Yet, I still want to share it because there's a visible shift in the industry from "just give it more cloud instances" towards resource optimization.

Another example is AWS using Rust for many of their core products to achieve their sustainability goals.

Also, there was a dedicated Energy track on FOSDEM, the first time in its history.

There are multiple driving factors for this shift. Funny enough, one of them being COVID. As a speaker from Meta (Facebook) said: "We would have been happy to add more servers, but there were no more servers because factories in China were closed due to COVID too".
