GreenCode Tech Tips

Short, practical tips for developers, operations teams and CTOs on cutting the energy software uses, each with a problem, a fix you can apply today, and how GreenCode helps, drawn from the project's own research.

Videos for greener software

Every GreenCode Tech Tip is a short video with the same shape: a real problem that wastes energy, a practical fix you can apply yourself, and a line on how GreenCode's pipeline helps with it. Each tip is drawn from the project's own research: its state of the art reviews, its published papers, and the catalogue of energy anti-patterns in the GreenCode Constitution. Below each video you will find the tip written out, with the sources behind it.
