The Hidden Cost of Code: How to Build Energy-Efficient CI/CD Pipelines
You will not find a smokestack on any CI/CD pipeline, nor a carbon meter in the corner of your screen to pass quiet judgment on the build. Yet the energy use is no less real. Every server running a test suite, every virtual machine at work on some compilation, every container image that is stored is an electricity consumer.
