Around 17,000 developers told us about their experiences with integrating SSE principles into their development projects. Key Questions Answered Who uses sustainable software engineering (SSE) approaches? Where are the global hotspots for SSE? Which types of SSE approaches are used? Which SSE principles are utilised by developers of different experience levels and in different regions? What motivates developers to use different SSE approaches and principles? How do developers’ motivations influence the types of SSE approaches they utilise? Which challenges do developers face when implementing SSE approaches? How do they challenges developers face change with their experience levels? Click to expand ACCESS THE FULL PREVIEW Methodology Sustainable software engineering (SSE) is the practice of minimisingthe environmental cost of software. It is an emerging discipline at the intersection of climate science, software practices and architecture, electricity markets, hardware, and data centre design. In this report, we’ll look at which developers are involved in building sustainable software and which SSE principles are most commonly utilised. We’ll investigate how developers’ experience levels, location, and the size of the organisation they work for –amongst other factors –affect the rate at which they utilise SSE and which principles they most often adopt. Later, we’ll take a closer look at what motivates developers to utilise SSE principles, as well as which challenges they face in doing so. We’ll demonstrate how developers’ motivations and challenges change based on several different factors, such as their experience levels. Questions? Let's talk! Fill the form.

Benchmarking backend and cloud technology strategies How company size and industry shape developers' deployment strategies and technology choices Access the Full Report About this Report This report examines cloud and server-side technology adoption patterns across organisation sizes and industry sectors, revealing insights that challenge conventional wisdom about technology maturity.We explore how multi-environment strategies evolve with organisational scale, why container adoption varies across company sizes, and how platform teams create infrastructure capabilities that are frequently invisible to their developers. Through analysis of deployment strategies, modern architecture adoption, and industry-specific technology leadership, we provide IT executives with frameworks for evaluating their technology strategies against relevant peer organisations rather than generic industry trends.The findings reveal that successful technology adoption depends lesson following best practices and more on aligning technology choices with organisational capabilities, industry requirements, and strategic priorities
