Green Software Architecture Patterns #254
Description
Describe the pattern you'd like to propose
I would like to add a new category to the patterns you currently have. My idea ist to add an architecture folder with general ideas regarding the architecture of a custom implemented system. Before creating a PR with some patterns I wanted to check in with you, if this is a good idea from your side:
Some examples, I want to contribute:
- Temporal decoupling to allow processing with reduced carbon output at a different time
- Optimize for fast startup to allow auto-scaling in different environments
- Service slicing by usage to make it independently scaleable
Describe specific emission impact from this pattern
Applications which are designed this way allow the overall reduction of resource usage.
References to this pattern
I'm happy to provide this info on the individual pattern PR, once you approve this idea.

Hello @russelltrow. I just wanted to ping you with this question. Do you think it is a good idea to add this category?
russelltrow commentedon Sep 28, 2023
Hi @marcopaga thank you so much for taking the time to make this suggestion.
architecturecertainly seems like a valid category for patterns but please hold off raising any PRs for the time being. The project is about to start an internal restructure and review of all the existing patterns. Once we have finished, I'm sure we would love to accept your patterns.I will leave this open and come back to you in due course.

I really like this idea! @russelltrow I think we could talk about that in one of our next meetings?

Hey @marcopaga I realise this issue goes back a little while but I thought it worth letting you know that we recently pushed a restructured Patterns catalogue which now contains an Architecture category: https://patterns.greensoftware.foundation/architecture/
We have also launched a streamlined submission process incase you still wish to propose new patterns: https://patterns.greensoftware.foundation/contribute
