Climate change: it’s one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Yet, while the focus is often on power plant pollution, single-use plastics, deforestation, and fossil fuels, web technologies remain among the biggest, least-visible carbon culprits. Inversely, though, it means that web technologies can be part of the solution.

We may not always know what is happening behind the scenes when we add a dependency to our projects. We expect this process to “just work” to carry on building applications. Little we may know about the level of commitment from maintainers and the amount of work needed to have everyone seamlessly use a library. Let’s hop in backstage to discover the unique way Blackfire releases its Python binaries.

The path to success in software development can be long and challenging. It requires a lot of skills and dedication as it’s not just about building applications, it’s so much more. It is also about being tailored for any situation, requiring us to be quick to adapt to change and to the unexpected.

In our Green initiative effort, Upsun is exposing all necessary information via an open API about the carbon footprint of our regions, so that you can make informed choices on where to deploy your projects.

We built Upsun because we knew there had to be a better way for businesses to build, run, and scale a full fleet of websites and web apps at scale. After all, until we brought our solution to market, many businesses had to construct a patchwork of different vendors, technologies, platforms, and solutions to bring their digital experiences to life. But there was no guarantee that all of those different component parts would always “play nicely in the sandbox” together.

As an organization owner, you can grant your key contributors permission to manage all your projects, billing information, or users within your organization. But… What if you are an agency that builds websites on behalf of multiple customers, and you want to invoice your customers directly? What if your company manages multiple business units or departments, all of which have their invoicing and billing requirements or their own contracts with Upsun?

Do you manage critical applications that require your team’s attention and effort, to remain secure, compliant, or simply up to date? Are you worried when you hear about a vulnerability in a framework that you might be using somewhere in your fleet of applications, but maybe not? Stop worrying, we’ve got your fleet covered!
