Currage Insights are written for operators: CEOs, founders, product leaders, and architects who need clarity without noise. This essay is designed to be practical—specific enough to act on, broad enough to guide strategy.
Compute is strategy now
Compute used to be a technical detail. It is now a strategic resource—affecting cost, speed, and even product feasibility.
Sustainable compute is the practice of designing systems that deliver performance with minimized waste and predictable cost.
- Architect for efficiency first: caching, batching, and right-sizing.
- Use observability to find waste quickly.
- Prefer architectures that scale horizontally with control.
Make sustainability measurable
Sustainability becomes real when it is measurable. Track utilization, idle costs, carbon intensity (where available), and workload efficiency.
Then redesign the biggest cost centers first.
- Define efficiency KPIs per workload.
- Set budgets and alerts for compute spend.
- Continuously refactor pipelines that drift.
