The best book I've read this in 2024.
We have such a great responsibility in our industry to lead and be an example to others, because we are a big contributor to this problem.
However, the book gives great examples on things you can do to reduce your carbon emissions.
"It's not easy being green" - Kermit the Frog
With quotes like this, the authors show that they empathize with the challenge, and at the same time they're making their book an engaging read. Most importantly, they're giving some excellent insights into how you can start taking REAL ACTION when it comes to digital sustainability, aka Green Software.
Given the growing attention to global sustainability, the growing carbon footprint of the digital world (remember the cloud is just someone else's computer!) through AI and datacenter, going green in digital will be a much in-demand skill in the coming years, so best to get ahead of the curve now! Go and read the book. Kermit approves. Ribbit.
The book is very good for the information available on the market. I believe that the topic is still too recent to have more technical and consistent content, but the authors did an excellent job for future researches.
I really recommend this book. It provides great insights about the topic.
It serves as a great introduction with great content about the subject.
It can be used by developers and other IT teams to get familiar with Green IT.
I have shared it with my colleagues as we are having internal objectives about ESG.
It is well written, and interesting. Even for people outside of IT it can provide lots of knowledge about sustainability and how we can make an impact for a greener world.
Loved it, lived it, implemented it and you can too saving you both money and securing a better future for our next generation.

How will software development and operations have to change to meet the sustainability and green needs of the planet? And what does that imply for development organizations? In this eye-opening book, sustainable software advocates Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, and Sara Bergman provide a unique overview of this topic—discussing everything from the likely evolution of national grids to the effect those changes will have on the day-to-day lives of developers.
Ideal for everyone from new developers to CTOs, Building Green Software tackles the challenges involved and shows you how to build, host, and operate code in a way that's not only better for the planet but also cheaper and relatively low-risk for your business. Most hyperscale public cloud providers have already committed to net-zero IT operations by 2030. This book shows you how to get on board.
You'll explore:
- How the energy transition is likely to change hosting on prem and in the cloud—and how your company can prepare
- The fundamental architectural principles of sustainable software development and how to apply them
- How to determine which parts of your system need to change
- The concept of extending hardware longevity and the part that software plays
