Hello y’all!

👣 On behalf of my client, I would like to know what is the carbon footprint of a Glide App, or any kind of information related to carbon efficiency.

I didn’t find anything on the website. I know I need to check that with all the tools of my stack. Even if there is not much displayed at any editor at the moment, I wanted to ask.

Anything about the following items would help:

- Green data centers?
- Carbon emissions compensation / offsetting?
- Distributed calculations (for example, a part of the calculations are not centralized in servers but distributed to the en-users, in their web browser)?
- Bulk ratio like: A standard Glide App equals 3 times less carbon imprint as a coded App?

Thank you and if there is no information yet, I’ll ask again in 5 years 😉

Thanks for asking, good question!

I calculated my carbon footprint for 2022 and I’m at 2,3 tonnes, slightly above the goal of the EU for its citizens. I’m afraid I didn’t include Glide in the calculator (I’m being serious.)

Under 2 tonnes here I come.

- Glide’s servers [are carbon neutral and run 100% on renewable energy](https://cloud.google.com/sustainability).
- We purchase carbon offsets [with 0.1% of our revenue](https://stripe.com/climate) to offset other services and activities of our team
