I dream of having a dashboard giving me some information about CO2 (equivalent) emissions based on build minutes/edge function execution etc.
There are estimations out there for Azure or AWS either with dashboards provided by the cloud providers themselves or via open source solutions like https://www.cloudcarbonfootprint.org/.
What are your thoughts on the following two questions:
-
Is there a possibility to write an extension to appear within netlifys admin dashboard to translate the metrics to co2 emissions based per site (based on some estimates from AWS). I do see that there are netlify extensions, but I am not sure if that would be possible.
Your thoughts on this? -
How about building an external dashboard which fetches metric data from netlify via API. Without having checked the API’s possibilities yet: Do you think that would be possible to fetch the metrics on a site basis and mix that with numbers from an estimate to build a custom external dashboard giving developers an idea over emissions caused by their site?
What downsides do you see?
And in general, what do you think about this?
Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers
