Green Software Architecture Patterns

[marcopaga]

Describe the pattern you'd like to propose I would like to add a new category to the patterns you currently have. My idea ist to add an architecture folder with general ideas regarding the architecture of a custom implemented system. Before creating a PR with some patterns I wanted to check in with you, if this is a good idea from your side:

Some examples, I want to contribute:

• Temporal decoupling to allow processing with reduced carbon output at a different time
• Optimize for fast startup to allow auto-scaling in different environments
• Service slicing by usage to make it independently scaleable

Describe specific emission impact from this pattern Applications which are designed this way allow the overall reduction of resource usage.

References to this pattern I'm happy to provide this info on the individual pattern PR, once you approve this idea.

Hello @russelltrow. I just wanted to ping you with this question. Do you think it is a good idea to add this category?

Hi @marcopaga thank you so much for taking the time to make this suggestion.

architecture certainly seems like a valid category for patterns but please hold off raising any PRs for the time being. The project is about to start an internal restructure and review of all the existing patterns. Once we have finished, I'm sure we would love to accept your patterns.

I will leave this open and come back to you in due course.
