Towards better digital sustainability

Inspired by this blog on sustainability

There are many things this project can do to reduce carbon emissions.

• Improve the server mode and support serverless architecture. This way, we can steer the users away from the CLI mode, which downloads all dependencies (including optional) by default
• Document and encourage the use of single application executables
• Produce multiple smaller container images
• Encourage caching of dependencies and intermediate results using CI cache with documentation

Anything else?

We have single application executables for Windows and language-specific container images now.
