Green Software Development

Category: Business

Green or Sustainable software is an approach that emphasises creating software that is efficient, long-lasting, and adaptable to changes over time. It encompasses a wide range of practices that focus on minimising energy consumption, carbon emissions, and the overall ecological footprint of software products. Eliminating unnecessary code and overengineering leads to sustainability. Therefore, prioritising code efficiency improves application performance and reduces energy consumption. According to Allied Market Research, the green technology and sustainability market, which was valued at $10.32 billion in 2020, is anticipated to increase by 21.9% between 2021 and 2030 to reach $74.64 billion.
