Cycloid calls itself a “sustainable platform engineering” company, perhaps because the company was founded on a mission to promote the optimization of infrastructure and software delivery processes in organizations. The company has now ,introduced a new service known as Components. This is a management layer designed to enable a modular and structured approach to managing cloud resources within the Cycloid engineering platform.
Not only does Cycloid align itself towards sustainable platform engineering practices, it also champions the principles of “digital sobriety” i.e. GreenOps methodologies designed to reduce the environmental impact of technology by optimising and limiting its use across the IT lifecycle to extend the lifespan of equipment and reduce energy consumption.
The somewhat generically-named Components is part of the company’s platform, which as a whole is designed to improve governance, scalability and automation for DevOps-centric Platform Engineering teams (DevPlatEngOps perhaps?) who are currently deploying and managing applications across hybrid multi-cloud environments.
All well and good then, but is there a justification and validation for this type of technology?
