Clean Code, Green Code: Strategies for Sustainable and Secure Software Development

This 20-minute conference talk by Sakshi Nasha at DevConf.IN 2025 explores the intersection of sustainability and security in software development through the "Green by Design" approach. Learn practical strategies for creating environmentally conscious and secure code with real-world examples and code snippets. Discover how to optimize algorithms by choosing O(n) over O(n^2), implement efficient resource management techniques to prevent memory leaks and deadlocks, deploy energy-efficient security algorithms including lightweight cryptography, balance cost with efficiency for a lower carbon footprint, adopt sustainable architecture practices throughout the development lifecycle, and leverage microservices, distributed systems, serverless and event-driven architectures. Join this session to gain actionable insights for building cleaner, greener, and more sustainable code that scales efficiently while remaining environmentally and economically responsible.
