As developer platforms scale, their cloud footprints quickly become massive operational cost-centers and drivers of carbon emissions. True platform maturity requires optimizing for environmental sustainability alongside performance.

This session delivers a technical blueprint for constructing a green platform using open-source tooling. We will demonstrate how to deploy Kepler with eBPF to capture granular, pod-level energy consumption. Moving past mere visibility, we show how to hook these metrics into Prometheus and leverage KEDA alongside the Carbon Aware SDK to drive automated, carbon-intelligent behaviors such as dynamically shifting non-critical workloads to periods of low grid intensity or downscaling idle environments. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to transform sustainability into an automated architectural default within their platform’s paved paths.
