I wonder whether making Atlassian tools run some 20% more efficiently would make the world greener than this.
IIRC one of the motivations Paul-Henning Kemp said to be having is to optimise software so that the world is greener.
While Bitbucket has some good reasons to be a performance hog (better diffs), I can not say the same about JIRA nor Confluence.
- stephen_g 5y agoNo, not by a some orders of magnitude. AGL reported carbon emissions of 42Mtpa in 2019-20. According to [1], the combined carbon emissions attributed to all the datacenters in the US is 31.5Mtpa, so 75% of AGL's emissions. So even if Atlassian tools around the world used as much processing power as all the datacenters in the US (of course in reality it's orders of magnitude less), the carbon saving of a 20% reduction would only be 6.3Mtpa, or 15% of AGL's emissions. 1. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abfba1 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abfba1
