Environment Variables Podcast | Ep 62 Greening Serverless

Chris Adams is joined by special guest Kate Goldenring, Senior Software
Engineer at Fermyon. Together, they ask the real questions “is serverless
computing the greener choice?” and “if so, under what circumstances is this
true?” Tune in for an illuminating conversation on the current state, news,
and future of green computing, digging into the topics of cloud computing,
soft allocation, WebAssembly, and more.
