Tech professionals face heavy workloads and tight deadlines, which can take a serious toll on their well-being. Recent data from Blind, an anonymous community of tech professionals, reveals that 57% of tech employees report feeling burned out, with common stressors including long hours and constant pressure to maintain operational reliability. While top tech firms like Google and LinkedIn have implemented Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to address system reliability and minimize burnout, there’s a growing consensus that more must be done to support developers on an individual level. This is where Alexandr Hacicheant, who is in charge of Reliability Engineering at Mayflower, steps in with a solution that prioritizes people first. “We often think of engineers as endlessly resilient problem-solvers, but they’re also people who need balance to thrive,” Alexandr explains. By focusing on developer well-being, Alexandr’s methods aim to build healthier, more sustainable tech teams, positioning work-life balance as a business imperative rather than an afterthought. A major part of Alexandr’s journey at Mayflower has been related to creating a workplace where developers could excel without sacrificing their well-being. “My goal wasn’t just to solve system reliability issues; it was to provide engineers with a supportive environment where they felt valued and balanced,” he shares. His approach centers on enhancing productivity through team autonomy, clear performance metrics, and streamlined workflows, helping engineers stay engaged and focused without constant firefighting. For Alexandr, preventing burnout starts with giving developers the resources and structure they need to manage their time effectively. “By reducing the amount of reactive work and empowering engineers to work on high-impact projects, we’re creating a space where they can actually enjoy the work they’re doing,” he adds. One of Alexandr’s key initiatives has been to address one of the most common sources of burnout in tech: the on-call shift. “On-call duty can be incredibly stressful for developers, especially when it disrupts their time off,” he explains. At Mayflower, his team implemented automated systems that handle routine maintenance and alert engineers only for critical issues, allowing them to have uninterrupted downtime. “Reducing unnecessary disruptions lets engineers fully recharge, which is crucial for both their health and productivity,” Alexandr notes. This approach has proven successful in decreasing stress levels among Mayflower’s engineers, enabling them to return to work with renewed focus and motivation. For Alexandr, the reduction of burnout isn’t simply a benefit to individual engineers; it’s a core business strategy. “Healthy engineers are productive engineers, and productive engineers drive a company’s success,” he emphasizes. While Alexandr’s efforts at Mayflower have yielded tangible improvements in both system reliability and employee satisfaction, he believes the industry as a whole needs to prioritize developer well-being. “If we’re going to make tech sustainable, we need to make engineers’ well-being a priority, not just system uptime,” he argues. By adopting a “People first” philosophy, Alexandr has set a standard that other leaders can look to, creating a more supportive environment for developers across the industry. Alexandr has begun sharing his insights more broadly through industry discussions, workshops, and publications. His message is simple but powerful: focusing on work-life balance isn’t just a perk; it’s an essential part of building resilient teams that can meet modern tech challenges. “When we put people first, we create a work environment that supports engineers and business success alike,” he says. Looking forward, Alexandr envisions a tech industry where developer well-being is a primary focus. “We have to shift our thinking from ‘What’s the latest tech trend?’ to ‘How do we create a sustainable workplace for our engineers?’” he reflects. His future goals include refining his “People first” approach further within Mayflower and encouraging its adoption across the industry. As Alexandr puts it, “The future of tech depends on more than innovation—it depends on creating environments where people can thrive.” By championing a work culture that respects work-life balance, he aims to inspire leaders across the industry to foster not just productive, but genuinely healthy, teams.

Hey Hackers, Atome Bakery has been nominated in HackerNoon's annual Startups of The Year awards in Vancouver, Canada. Please vote for us here: https://hackernoon.com/startups/north-america/north-america-vancouver-bc-canada?stup=66f324a46ea4677e23e222f9 Read more about us below to understand why we deserve your vote: Meet Atome Atome Bakery is an online artisan bakery delivering ready-to-bake sourdough bread and pastries across North America. Our products are crafted with organic Canadian flour, clean ingredients, and traditional slow fermentation methods, ensuring exceptional quality and taste. Unlike mass-produced bread, our bake-from-proof model allows customers to enjoy bakery-worthy freshness straight from their own ovens. We specialize in frozen, pre-proofed products, including sourdough loaves, baguettes, croissants, and pain au chocolat, designed for convenience without compromising quality. Our mission is to make healthier, artisan-quality baked goods accessible to households everywhere, particularly in regions where high-quality bread is hard to find. With a commitment to sustainability, we use recyclable packaging and minimize waste through small-batch production. Atome Bakery is redefining home baking, one delicious box at a time. How Atome Bakery achieved product-market fit Atome Bakery has achieved a solid product-market fit by addressing a clear gap in the market: the lack of convenient access to high-quality, artisan bread and pastries. Our bake-from-proof model solves the dilemma for customers who want bakery-quality bread but lack access to local bakeries or the time and skill to bake from scratch. Our growth metrics strongly validate this fit. We have shipped nearly 10,000 boxes since July 2023, with a 16% growth MoM
Additionally, repeat orders from remote and suburban households confirm that our products resonate with customers who value quality but face limited local options. The evolution of Atome Bakery Building Atome Bakery has been a journey of adaptation, learning, and iteration. When we started in 2022, our initial focus was a pick-up model for sourdough bread in Vancouver. However, feedback from early customers revealed a broader need: artisan-quality bread that could be delivered to suburban and remote areas where options were limited. This insight drove us to pivot to a direct-to-consumer frozen delivery model, which allowed us to expand our reach significantly.
Later, we added pastries like croissants and pain au chocolat to our offering, again prompted by customers’ requests. Each iteration has brought us closer to fulfilling our mission of making high-quality, artisan baked goods accessible to households across North America. Milestones and achievements We’ve won multiple awards, including the Entrepreneurs Abroad Award by the French Executive Circle and the DIVERSEcity Pitch competition, highlighting our diverse team. We were named a Top 3 finalist for the Small Business BC e-commerce experience award in 2024, and won Start up TNT’s Investor competition at Summit X.
We are growing! What started as a BC-only delivery service quickly grew to Alberta, State of Washington, Oregon, and now California! Lessons learned One of our biggest challenges has been scaling operations to meet increasing demand. As orders grew tenfold in 12 months, we faced capacity constraints in production, storage, and logistics. Initially, we underestimated the infrastructure needed to support this growth, which led to delays and operational strain in order to maintain our high standards of quality. Lesson learned: Anticipating growth and investing in scalable systems early is crucial for maintaining efficiency. What Startups of The Year means to us As a company redefining the artisan bakery experience through innovation and accessibility, we’re excited to participate in HackerNoon’s Startups of the Year to celebrate the progress of Atome Bakery and connect with a community of innovators and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to make high-quality, artisan baked goods accessible to more homes, and we see this initiative as an opportunity to amplify our story, showcase our unique approach, and inspire others with our journey. Through this recognition, we hope to gain increased visibility for Atome Bakery, attract potential collaborators, and engage with thought leaders who can offer valuable insights as we continue scaling. We’re also excited to contribute to the shared knowledge within the HackerNoon community by sharing the lessons and strategies that have shaped our growth. Ultimately, we view this initiative as a platform to build meaningful connections that will help propel Atome Bakery to the next level. Conclusion hank you for taking the time to learn about Atome Bakery and our mission to bring high-quality, artisan baked goods to more homes. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to innovate, grow, and make an impact in communities across North America.

Meet Forescribe - A HackerNoon SOTY 2024 Nominee

Hey Hackers, SKL.vc has been nominated in HackerNoon's annual Startups of The Year awards in Venture Capital, Investing, and Entrepreneurship under Business. Please vote for us here: https://hackernoon.com/startups/industry/venture-capital Read more about us below to understand why we deserve your vote. Meet SKL.vc ‘SKL.vc is where data-driven insights meet visionary startups’. ‘We’re building the B2C startups that define tomorrow’. This is how we usually describe ourselves, but what does it actually mean? Many people assume we’re a venture fund, given the “VC” in our name. However, the truth is we’re neither a classic VC fund nor a traditional venture capital investor. Instead, SKL.vc is a venture builder, which means we launch startups from the idea stage and invest in ourselves. So, rather than just providing funding to external teams, we integrate them into our structure and work together on developing ideas from the inside out. But wait — doesn’t that sound like a classic venture studio model? Not exactly either. The difference between SKL.vc and a venture studio is that we are fully involved in all internal processes, from product design to marketing and financing, while a classic venture studio typically just “helps.” At SKL.vc, the startup journey lasts around 8 months — much shorter than if you launch a startup independently. Although each founder’s path is unique, all startups pass through several key milestones: identifying an idea, validating a hypothesis, creating a prototype, building an MVP, completing the product, and launching the company. We take all the entrepreneurial risks and cover all expenses, so hey, good news, no worries about the money! Once a startup achieves a stable unit economy, growth metrics, and revenue targets, we spin off the company. How SKL.vc achieved product-market fit It’s simple: we believe that every startup deserves a chance to succeed. We know that thousands of amazing ideas never see the light because people are too afraid to leave their secure 9-to-5, risk it all — and possibly lose it all in the process. Imagine saying goodbye to a high salary, especially if you hold a senior position like CTO or department head at a corporation. Or consider trying again if you’ve already experienced the heartbreak of a failed startup. We believe that a bit of support can empower those people to bring to life the ideas they’ve set aside for quite some time. If their idea still resonates and they have the energy to try, we’re here for them. Here’s how the process is: if we see unicorn potential in the idea, we’ll offer a contract with a salary of up to $200k per month. Yes, you read that right — an entrepreneur's salary! Plus, you'll receive equity, and we’ll cover all expenses. In return, if the project is still just an idea or a prototype we’ll take a 95% share of your future company. 95% may seem ridiculously high — trust us, we’ve heard it many times before. But we trade it for a completely risk-free environment to test ideas, access to all resources, and a competitive salary, freeing founders from any financial worries. Does this resonate with the audience? We’ll let the numbers speak here. Each year, we have an incoming deal flow of 1000+ startups wanting to partner with us. When selecting startups, we evaluate these 3 aspects: The founder’s background, especially prior success in launching products.
How well the idea aligns with our target industries.
The startup’s stage, to ensure that we can still drive the most significant impact. In the end, we launch around 5-7 startups a year, allowing us to concentrate our support and resources. The evolution of SKL.vc SKL.vc was founded in 2019 by serial entrepreneur and investor Artem Sokolov. Since then, we've always been passionate about B2C projects, even though this might seem a bit weird in today’s market landscape, where most investors prioritize B2B ideas. For us, though, B2C projects are just too exciting! They have the potential to impact thousands or even millions of lives worldwide. Imagine when someone asks, “What do you do?” and you get to say, “We’re building this app, maybe you’ve heard of it.” Seeing their faces light up when they recognize it is a reminder of why we choose the consumer market, with all its unpredictability. So, it’s always been about B2C. But what did evolve over time are key domains that we’re most passionate about. Right now we see the future in creative economy, entertainment, digital avatars, HealthTech, FinTech and some other areas. Who knows — maybe we’ll add something new and exciting to this list soon. Milestones and achievements On our journey, we’ve also come to realize the importance of a strong startup community. With thousands of requests that we get from talented founders, we decided to create events like our B2C Launch Camp to foster and strengthen the community around SKL.vc. Launch Camp is a unique opportunity to test ideas in a risk-free environment. Participants join with early-stage concepts, and over a 21-day program, they develop them and bring them to life with support from industry leaders. Top participants get the chance to access up to $15 million in funding, job offers, and stock options. 458 people from 279 teams took part in our last Camp in July–August 2024. By the way, the applications for the new Launch Camp are now open, you can apply until November 13 here! Lessons learned One of the main challenges we constantly face is the widespread romanticized idea of being a startup founder. People follow successful entrepreneurs in the news and on social media, thinking that all their ideas are worth millions and that success is just one email away. The reality, however, is that success in tech entrepreneurship is a lottery. There’s only a fraction of a percent chance that your idea will become a unicorn, half a percent that it will grow into a mid-sized business, and a 3–10% chance it will become a small business. For most, it’s just a waste of time and money. The problem is that the likelihood of a project succeeding is very low. To be successful, you need to make many attempts, but life is limited — in reality, each of us has only 2–3 tries. Yet, this is the only way to break through. That’s why there are still so many dreamers (sorry, founders) with bright-eyed ambition and people writing “IT entrepreneur” in their Tinder profiles. At SKL.vc we seek individuals for whom starting a business is a deep-seated passion. Those who understand that the probability of failure is far greater than the chance of success. But who’s still bold enough to try. VC is either for people with a high risk tolerance or people with great ambitions. It’s only for the brave. What Startups of The Year means to us We’re a startup that is building and scaling other startups — and we’re ambitious. That doesn’t need much explanation, right? Our goal is simple: we just want to build the next generation of B2C unicorns. Startups of the Year is an amazing opportunity for us to share our story. It’s also a chance to engage with HackerNoon’s global community of over 45,000 writers, founders, makers, thinkers and technologists, plus more than 4 million readers. We believe some of them have the potential to become the next unicorn founders. Could that be you? Conclusion SKL.vc helps people who can’t afford the typical startup founder's journey — spending years testing hypotheses, negotiating with investors, and draining their personal savings. We make innovation accessible to all by giving people the chance to bring their ideas to life, even when they wouldn’t dare to do so on their own. By sharing our story, we hope to inspire those who have been sitting on their startup projects for too long to finally take action.

Hey Hackers, Pharmacy Marts has been nominated in HackerNoon's annual Startups of The Year awards in Cairo, Egypt. Please vote for us here: https://hackernoon.com/startups/africa/africa-cairo-egypt?embedable=true&stup=66f3161b6ea4677e23d78766 Read more about us below to understand why we deserve your vote. Meet Pharmacy Marts Pharmacy Marts is a digital marketplace that connects pharmacies and medical suppliers to easily, conveniently and quickly access and receive medicine, cosmetics and medical supplies. At Pharmacy Marts we are working to overcome the challenges that the health-tech sector is facing. 30% of pharmacists’ day is consumed between manual stock tracking and phone calls with suppliers to check product availability and prices. Our service is a one-stop tech-enabled platform that pharmacists can use to instantly check product availability, compare prices and get optimum deals for their daily needs. Cash flow problems due to strict payment plans set by suppliers, restrict pharmacists from buying the products they need. That's why we offer tailored payment plans to empower pharmacists to grow their revenue sustainably. Our service also overcomes inconvenient delivery times and methods, as we offer same day delivery, bundled orders and multi-address delivery. Pharmacy Marts is on a mission to expand into further verticals to enhance business support initiatives and build a highly efficient pharmaceuticals supply chain. Learn more about us here. How Pharmacy Marts achieved product-market fit We created a service that not only ends the long manual ordering process for pharmacists but also helps them save time, effort and money. In the last three years, we have expanded into 4 cities and acquired 15% of Egypt's Pharmaceutical Market. We did that through creating a platform where pharmacists can order their daily needs instantly without the hassle of long phone calls. Our service gives clients the opportunity to order their daily needs from one place, compare prices from different suppliers, enjoy exclusive offers, choose between different payment methods including flexible payment plans with our Buy Now, Pay Later service and receive their consolidated order within 24 hours. The evolution of Pharmacy Marts To build a startup means going through periods of trial and error and we've built blocks along the way to connect the lines to help achieve and see actual success. Our startup was based on years of market research and a deep understanding of a pharmacist's ordering journey. In the past few years, we turned an idea into a fully functioning platform that has received global recognition. Through our platform we have changed customer behavior and introduced a convenient way for pharmacists to order their needs. Any update that we make on our platform is with the consumers and their needs in mind in order to create a unique and hassle-free user experience and increase medicine access.

Meet Pharmacy Marts, Startups of the Year 2024 Nominee

How we treat 'dirty' jobs reveals something about us—both IRL and online. This past summer, I got sidetracked by a hidden pattern. At every event and co-living space I went to, the same weakest link kept surfacing: tasks people ignore or simply don’t want to do (ie cleaning) ˙◠˙ Even the smallest cleaning task, when overlooked, impacted everyone’s experience. It’s not just about physical spaces, this avoidance shows up in the digital world too. Avoidance in Decentralized Systems If you consider yourself a systems thinker, chances are you’ve mastered ✩₊_˚._⋆_mental gymnastics_✩₊_˚._⋆. Acrobatic moves to bend the mind and avoid the uncomfortable. This complex reasoning often leads to avoiding essential tasks. DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) promise shared governance and community-driven decision-making. Think of them as socio-technical experiments, revealing how we engage with governance. In practice, however, people neglect their roles in maintaining the system. Voting or contributing to governance, like cleaning, is often overlooked. When this happens, the responsibility falls on a few, undermining the promise of DAOs. While many DAOs still struggle with this, there are people experimenting with solutions as decentralized governance evolves. But hey, what’s more exciting than voting? ✿ Shitcoins and Shitposting ✿ It’s funny how silly, low-value, human-made content floods digital spaces and physically seeps into brains. Meanwhile, machine-driven blockchain mining quietly powers the foundation that keeps everything running. Blockchain mining is labor-intensive, requiring machines to perform millions of calculations to validate transactions. Miners are rewarded for tasks that few would willingly do due to high energy consumption and hardware demands. By outsourcing this ‘dirty work’ to machines and distributing it across a decentralized network, the system remains resilient. As the industry evolves, solutions like Ethereum’s shift from PoW to PoS show how digital systems can handle their ‘dirty work’ to ensure sustainability. Maybe there’s a lesson in that for us? Creative Glory Versus Essential Labor This viral quote implies that creative work is superior to cleaning, and most people agree without hesitation. It’s an ominous reflection on society. Are essential laborious tasks truly beneath human dignity? I recently volunteered to oversee the cleaning of the busiest toilets at a 500-person event. What was supposed to be a simple oversight role turned into me doing the actual cleaning—because no one showed up. Watching people avoid helping was comedic (and it was heartwarming when a few legends pitched in ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡). I channeled Mike Rowe's energy from Dirty Jobs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Ogf6zWuMM&embedable=true It revealed a deeper truth: we don’t value the work that keeps things running. In many countries, it’s completely normal for families to have a domestic worker. The idea of cleaning is confusingly unholy in these places. Cleanliness has long been seen as sacred across cultures and philosophies. Zoroastrianism, a religion over 3,000 years old, views physical cleanliness as a reflection of cosmic order, tying mundane tasks to a higher spiritual purpose. Fast forward to 20th-century architect Le Corbusier, who believed that well-organized, clean spaces were essential for human creativity and productivity. Despite the vast time gap, these perspectives remind us that cleanliness supports the larger systems we rely on. [~ Note: keep an eye out in shared spaces like co-working, festivals, and clubs, sometimes there are creative and fun solutions to toilets and cleaning ~] ღ꧁ღ Sacred Tasks in Shared Systems ⊱ꕥ As our lives become more networked, the energy we share in digital spaces carries the same weight as in the physical. Just as physical hygiene prevents decay, digital hygiene—through clear communication, ethical data use, and mindful online habits—prevents the breakdown of trust in shared systems. Network spirituality connects the visible and invisible structures we rely on. Much like viewing cleanliness as cosmic order or valuing organized spaces for creativity and productivity. The smallest tasks keep our systems healthy. Cleaning and Decomposing Are Natural Cycles in Every Living System Seek to uncover these overlooked tasks in your blindspots. Turn them into something intentional and fun, much like nature’s quiet alchemy—foundational for building healthier systems.

How we treat 'dirty' jobs reveals something about us—both IRL and online. This past summer, I got sidetracked by a hidden pattern. At every event and co-living space I went to, the same weakest link kept surfacing: tasks people ignore or simply don’t want to do (ie cleaning) ˙◠˙ tasks people ignore or simply don’t want to do (ie cleaning) ˙◠˙ Even the smallest cleaning task, when overlooked, impacted everyone’s experience. It’s not just about physical spaces, this avoidance shows up in the digital world too. Avoidance in Decentralized Systems If you consider yourself a systems thinker, chances are you’ve mastered ✩₊_˚._⋆_mental gymnastics_✩₊_˚._⋆. Acrobatic moves to bend the mind and avoid the uncomfortable. This complex reasoning often leads to avoiding essential tasks. DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) promise shared governance and community-driven decision-making. Think of them as socio-technical experiments, revealing how we engage with governance. In practice, however, people neglect their roles in maintaining the system. Voting or contributing to governance, like cleaning, is often overlooked. When this happens, the responsibility falls on a few, undermining the promise of DAOs. While many DAOs still struggle with this, there are people experimenting with solutions as decentralized governance evolves. But hey, what’s more exciting than voting? ✿ Shitcoins and Shitposting ✿ ✿ Shitcoins and Shitposting ✿ It’s funny how silly, low-value, human-made content floods digital spaces and physically seeps into brains. Meanwhile, machine-driven blockchain mining quietly powers the foundation that keeps everything running. Blockchain mining is labor-intensive, requiring machines to perform millions of calculations to validate transactions. Miners are rewarded for tasks that few would willingly do due to high energy consumption and hardware demands. By outsourcing this ‘dirty work’ to machines and distributing it across a decentralized network, the system remains resilient. As the industry evolves, solutions like Ethereum’s shift from PoW to PoS show how digital systems can handle their ‘dirty work’ to ensure sustainability. Maybe there’s a lesson in that for us? Creative Glory Versus Essential Labor Creative Glory Versus Essential Labor This viral quote implies that creative work is superior to cleaning, and most people agree without hesitation. It’s an ominous reflection on society. Are essential laborious tasks truly beneath human dignity? I recently volunteered to oversee the cleaning of the busiest toilets at a 500-person event. What was supposed to be a simple oversight role turned into me doing the actual cleaning—because no one showed up. Watching people avoid helping was comedic (and it was heartwarming when a few legends pitched in ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡). I channeled Mike Rowe's energy from Dirty Jobs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Ogf6zWuMM&embedable=true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Ogf6zWuMM&embedable=true It revealed a deeper truth: we don’t value the work that keeps things running . In many countries, it’s completely normal for families to have a domestic worker. The idea of cleaning is confusingly unholy in these places. we don’t value the work that keeps things running Cleanliness has long been seen as sacred across cultures and philosophies. Zoroastrianism, a religion over 3,000 years old, views physical cleanliness as a reflection of cosmic order, tying mundane tasks to a higher spiritual purpose. Fast forward to 20th-century architect Le Corbusier, who believed that well-organized, clean spaces were essential for human creativity and productivity. Despite the vast time gap, these perspectives remind us that cleanliness supports the larger systems we rely on. [~ Note: keep an eye out in shared spaces like co-working, festivals, and clubs, sometimes there are creative and fun solutions to toilets and cleaning ~] ღ꧁ღ Sacred Tasks in Shared Systems ⊱ꕥ ღ꧁ღ Sacred Tasks in Shared Systems ⊱ꕥ As our lives become more networked, the energy we share in digital spaces carries the same weight as in the physical. Just as physical hygiene prevents decay, digital hygiene—through clear communication, ethical data use, and mindful online habits—prevents the breakdown of trust in shared systems. Network spirituality connects the visible and invisible structures we rely on. Much like viewing cleanliness as cosmic order or valuing organized spaces for creativity and productivity. The smallest tasks keep our systems healthy. Network spirituality Network spirituality Cleaning and Decomposing Are Natural Cycles in Every Living System Cleaning and Decomposing Are Natural Cycles in Every Living System Seek to uncover these overlooked tasks in your blindspots. Turn them into something intentional and fun, much like nature’s quiet alchemy—foundational for building healthier systems.

Here's Why You Should Tidy Up the Network and Yourself 

As cloud adoption accelerates, so does the energy consumption of data centers, leading to a rising awareness of the environmental impact of IT infrastructures. A 2022 report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) noted that data centers now account for nearly 1% of the world's electricity use, with projections showing an even higher figure as cloud computing continues to grow. This has prompted companies, governments, and environmental groups to demand greener, more sustainable IT practices. DevOps, a field built on automation and infrastructure scaling, is at the center of these discussions, particularly as companies search for ways to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining performance. Aliaksei Volski, a cloud engineer with years of experience working with sustainability-focused DevOps practices, brings invaluable insight into this field. Having spent the last several years optimizing cloud infrastructure with a strong focus on sustainability, Volski understands the intricate balance between technological advancement and environmental responsibility. “We’ve reached a point where the carbon footprint of our digital activities can’t be ignored,” Volski emphasizes. “Every company using cloud infrastructure should be thinking about how to reduce energy consumption and emissions through automation and smart resource management.” His recent work reflects a growing trend in the tech industry to reduce carbon footprints by embedding eco-friendly practices directly into DevOps processes. “Sustainability in DevOps isn’t just about reducing energy consumption,” Volski notes. “It’s about embedding efficiency into the automation process, ensuring that the infrastructure can scale without putting unnecessary strain on the environment.” One of the technologies often employed in sustainable DevOps strategies is Microsoft Azure, a cloud platform that has introduced several features to optimize energy efficiency. For instance, the Microsoft Sustainability Calculator enables organizations to monitor and visualize their carbon emissions across cloud resources, helping businesses identify areas for improvement. Furthermore, Microsoft has committed to making its data centers fully reliant on renewable energy by 2025, a move that will drastically reduce the environmental impact of cloud services. Leading companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have taken notable steps toward reducing the carbon emissions associated with cloud infrastructure. Microsoft’s "Project Natick," for instance, focused on reducing energy consumption by submerging data centers underwater for natural cooling. Meanwhile, Google’s “Carbon-Free Energy” initiative aims to achieve 100% renewable energy in all its operations by 2030. Amazon’s “Sustainability in the Cloud” program emphasizes optimizing energy efficiency across its AWS data centers, incorporating green energy solutions and advanced cooling technologies. Volski’s broader experience in cloud infrastructure optimization underscores the growing need to balance business goals with ecological ones. His approach involves developing best practices for reducing the carbon footprint of cloud infrastructure, such as optimizing resource use and integrating automated monitoring systems to track energy consumption in real time. “One of the biggest wins we’ve had was through real-time monitoring,” Volski explains. “By setting up continuous tracking systems, we were able to identify when resources were being underutilized and then scale them down automatically. This not only saved on costs but also helped reduce our overall energy usage.” For example, a 2021 case study from Goldman Sachs highlighted how dynamic resource allocation via Kubernetes reduced energy consumption by 30% in its cloud infrastructure while maintaining high availability and performance. By adopting similar DevOps approaches, companies can make considerable gains in reducing their carbon footprint without compromising scalability or performance. Tools such as Terraform for infrastructure automation and Prometheus for monitoring provide robust frameworks that enable teams to efficiently scale their cloud environments while keeping energy usage in check. The push for greener DevOps practices is not just a passing trend but is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage for companies. A 2023 report from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) found that businesses implementing sustainable cloud practices saw a 15% reduction in operational costs on average. Furthermore, customers are beginning to demand eco-conscious initiatives from the brands they engage with. According to a 2022 survey by IBM, over 60% of consumers say they are more likely to purchase from companies that demonstrate environmentally friendly practices, highlighting the potential business benefits of adopting sustainable DevOps methodologies. Looking ahead, Volski emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that considers both technological advancements and sustainability. “It’s not enough to just optimize processes,” Volski says. “We need to integrate renewable energy wherever possible and encourage the adoption of practices like power-efficient coding and serverless architecture to further minimize the carbon impact of our systems.” Serverless computing, for instance, allows companies to run functions only when needed, drastically reducing the energy footprint by eliminating the need for always-on infrastructure. Another emerging trend in sustainable DevOps is the use of carbon-aware computing, where cloud operations are scheduled around periods of low carbon intensity in the energy grid. This concept allows cloud services to dynamically shift workloads to times when renewable energy is most available. According to a study by the University of Bristol, this strategy could reduce carbon emissions from cloud operations by as much as 20%. Volski sees this as a promising avenue for future developments: “Carbon-aware computing is one of those innovations that could have a huge impact. By adapting our operations to take advantage of cleaner energy sources, we’re not just improving our processes—we’re helping the planet.” By adopting sustainable practices in DevOps, companies have the opportunity to lead the charge in eco-friendly technology solutions. While the tech giants have made considerable headway, there’s still vast potential for businesses of all sizes to reduce their environmental impact. “DevOps professionals have the power to make a real difference,” Volski concludes. “With the right tools and mindset, we can ensure that the cloud revolution not only benefits business but also supports a healthier, more sustainable world.” As cloud adoption accelerates, so does the energy consumption of data centers, leading to a rising awareness of the environmental impact of IT infrastructures.
