Backend Overview

Here you can find the Sustainability Best Practices with focus on backend techniques.

These topics help you to enhance System Sustainability through different practices:

Async

Utilizing asynchronous calls, often referred to as "fire and forget", presents substantial benefits from the perspective of sustainable systems design.

Background Tasks

Implementing background tasks or batching up requests to run in sustainable cloud regions and during off-peak hours of power consumption.

Cache Responses

Caching in backend development plays a pivotal role in sustainable system design reducing the need for repeated processing and resource-intensive database queries.

Common Pitfalls

Conducting thorough performance testing and optimization of backend services holds great merit from the standpoint of sustainable system design.

Jam Stack

The adoption of JAMstack architecture, Static Site Generation (SSG), and Content Delivery Network (CDN) distribution stands as a commendable choice for sustainable system design.

Monolithic vs. Service

When assessing the sustainability of architectural choices, the distinction between monolithic and service-based architectures takes center stage.

Performance testing

Conducting thorough performance testing and optimization of backend services holds great merit from the standpoint of sustainable system design.

Soap Rest and GraphQL

Viewing APIs through the lens of sustainable development reveals crucial considerations for optimizing their efficiency.

SQL Optimization

Efficient SQL optimization, particularly in the precise utilization of joins, carries significance within the framework of sustainable system design.

Sustainable Design Patterns

Learn about how you can optimize assets, implement a mobile-first strategy and other suggestions.

Upgrades and Patches

Staying up-to-date with the latest software versions ensures that the system benefits from enhanced performance, security, and efficiency.
