Whitepaper on Sustainable Serverless Computing for Manufacturers

In the technology paper, Nightingale HQ delves into the core principles of carbon-aware software design, emphasising energy-efficient coding, serverless architectures, and code optimisation for energy efficiency. The report showcases a practical example of a serverless computing architecture designed from a sustainability-first perspective, supported by data and industry research. 

Key Highlights: 

• Carbon-Aware Software Design: The whitepaper introduces the concept of carbon-aware software, explaining how applications can dynamically adjust operations based on the carbon intensity of the electricity supply. By working harder during cleaner energy periods and scaling down during dirtier energy periods, carbon-aware software aims to reduce the carbon footprint of computing processes. 
• Serverless Computing and Sustainability: Nightingale HQ explores the synergies between serverless computing and sustainable manufacturing. By utilising resources only when required, serverless computing enables manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprint, lower energy consumption, and enhance overall sustainability in the manufacturing sector. 
• High-Performance Computing (HPC): The whitepaper sheds light on how HPC can significantly benefit the manufacturing industry by optimising processes, running advanced simulations, and handling large-scale data operations. It also addresses the environmental considerations and carbon footprints associated with HPC, emphasising sustainable practices. 
• Developer Velocity for Sustainability: Nightingale HQ emphasises the importance of developer velocity in achieving sustainability targets. Increased developer velocity can directly reduce the energy consumed during the development cycle, contributing to greener software development practices.
