Abstract

Mitigation starts by treating technical debt and digital waste as sustainability problems. Idle compute, chatty microservices, oversized payloads, unbounded concurrency, always-on resilience, and forgotten data, environments, or duplicate workflows all become permanent excess: more kilowatt-hours, more emissions, more cloud spend. We uncover where energy is wasted in everyday systems, from CPU boost events with no user value and I/O waits misread as CPU issues to zombie instances and hidden digital waste across storage, pipelines, and tooling. These findings become a green debt backlog tied to measurable reductions in energy, cost, and operational heat. The talk reframes performance as value per watt. It explores event-driven designs, lean data contracts, carbon-aware compute placement, and CI/CD checks for efficiency. Attendees leave with practical habits to mitigate waste, innovate greener systems, and sustain gains long after the conference.
