Cut CO2 with greener software

Inefficient code is burning up cloud cycles and green goals. There’s a new path open.

“85% of CO2 generated by enterprise software hinge on application design and development”

The challenge

Companies working to cut CO2 emissions are scrutinizing the code running their business. With data centers emitting more carbon dioxide than the airline industry, “coding green” has become a core part of meeting regulatory and reputational needs. Finding single instances, like an application using SQL queries inside a loop, is straightforward. But finding thousands of such cases at scale -- and then quantifying the ROI of code improvements -- has been impossible.

Enter CAST

CAST pioneered the collection of green code intelligence, analyzing applications at the source code level for opportunities to cut energy usage. Within minutes of deployment, CAST identifies ways to cut excessive cloud cycles and presents ways to optimize based on cost, performance, and resilience.
