Interview – Michelle Sanver
summary
Argues that PHP teams must treat sustainability as measurable engineering: track CPU and memory per request, benchmark end-to-end latency, and translate those metrics into carbon per request so targets are concrete. Recommends using profilers and benchmarks, applying caching and efficient algorithms, and adopting carbon-aware deployment schedules and green hosting. Emphasizes remote-work collaboration and conference feedback as ways to spread practices and iterate on techniques that actually reduce load and waste.
