David Ranek, CEO of expans, presents their open source project "backl" (Baka Yao) that enables sustainable computing by moving computation to data instead of moving data to computation 0:30.
Key Takeaways:
• The project addresses data movement inefficiencies in distributed systems, reducing costs, latency, and environmental impact by allowing jobs to run where data resides 8:00
• Backl uses local schedulers across distributed nodes, allowing jobs to run on "green" nodes powered by renewable energy sources rather than coal-powered infrastructure 12:03
• The lightweight agent supports Docker and WebAssembly workloads across different architectures (x86, ARM, Windows, Mac, Linux) with minimal resource requirements 18:50
• The system excels at executing "embarrassingly parallel" jobs across unreliable networks, making it ideal for distributed ML training, log management, and edge computing 21:21
• Upcoming features include energy-aware scheduling that will allow users to direct jobs specifically to nodes running on renewable power 24:42
Backl represents a practical approach to sustainable computing that leverages existing distributed resources more efficiently rather than creating new infrastructure.

hello everyone um and welcome to day four of uh Cloud native of sustainability week um and I know it seems kind of weird because uh uh my partner and crime say is not here today um he is um unfortunately um out uh because of some personal emergencies uh but don't worry you all are in safe hands um and uh you know we will ensure that things go as planned um but for those who joining new and who have um no idea of what this um you know whole um gig is about um Cloud native Computing Foundation that is the cncf is essentially um uh hosting uh Cloud native sustainability week uh all throughout the second week of October which is right now and uh what we're doing as part of this week is uh bringing on folks who are working in uh various areas of sustainability and uh spreading awareness around …
