GreenOps is the other side of the coin vs FinOps: what impact are we making with our data products?

I sat down with

(DigitalPebble) to talk about a topic, that is quite rare in the modern AI/Data/Cloud infrastructure space: greenops. It sits on the side of the “ops” (operations) coin vs FinOps.

FinOps optimizes technology for business value; GreenOps optimizes it for environmental impact.

Julien Nioche on the LIVE episode of Vector Podcast with Dmitry Kan

In this episode we discussed SPRUCE — Scalable Platform for Reporting Usage and Cloud Emissions. From technology stand point it uses Spark for scalable processing of the report files, that are typically in Parquet format.

As a developer you may not care too much about $$$ spent on an idle server, but this quote from Julien stuck with me:

It is not my wallet, but it is my Planet.
