Hey there!

Did you know that data centres produce about 3% of the world's greenhouse gases? 😳

What's more, this is set to treble in the next 10 years!

And as a developer, not only can you have a personal impact, but you can also have a leveraged impact through the thousands, or millions of users that interact with your code!

In an effort bring sustainability to web applications, Asim Hussain and Vladimir Agafonkin share what you can do to reduce server waste and help with global warming:

JavaScript Saves the World

Data centers produce about 3% of the world's greenhouse gases and this is set to treble in the next 10 years. When building apps, we focus on minimizing costs, time to market, bugs, bundle size, application speed, SEO, but we spend almost no effort trying to minimize the damage our applications are making to the environment. Asim discusses how to build a green sustainable web application with NestJS and Serverless.

Fast by default - Algorithmic performance optimization in practice

We’ve learned to rely on sophisticated frameworks and fast engines so much that we’re slowly forgetting how computers work. Locating the slow code is easy, but what do you do next? Why exactly is it slow, and how do you make it fast? Time to regain the lost art of algorithmic performance optimization! Vladimir shows you how — on practical, real-world cases of optimizing popular open-source libraries, PR by PR.

Happy Learning!
