Green Software Patterns
A curated collection of best practices that software practitioners can consider when designing and building software.
Get Started
Patterns are designed to be easy to understand and put into practice. Just follow these simple steps:
 | Choose a pattern that fits your role or aligns with where you are in the software development lifecycle. |
|---|---|
| Review the pattern and its proposed solution to understand the core idea. |
| Identify how the pattern applies to your software, including what changes are needed and how they may impact your system |
| Apply the change and don't forget to give yourself a well-earned pat on the back! |
