Sustainability
Adopting a sustainable approach to software design involves considering and minimizing the environmental effects of software development at all its lifecycle stages. How? For example, optimizing code to reduce energy consumption, using more efficient hardware, and opting for energy-efficient data centers.
In addition to taking an environmentally conscious approach, sustainable software development offers tangible benefits to the customer. For instance, less downtime and quicker updates, as core-level changes to sustainable software can be implemented faster, leading to better overall performance and lower application ownership costs. As a result, companies can react to shifting consumer and market demands more quickly, increasing their agility and competitive edge.
