Choose servers with SSD storage
It is less eco-friendly to manufacture Solid State Drives than hard drives. However, this is quickly offset when the application requires lots of input and output as they consume three times less electricity, and thus also require less cooling. Furthermore, SSDs are much quicker than hard drives: the processor is thus utilized for a shorter period of time, allowing for more useful processes per number of constant processors/servers. Lastly, one SSD can replace up to 5 fast hard drives.
Avoid rewriting getter/setter natives
Most object languages suggest standard getters and setters that the developer does not need to write.
Overloading them can increase the run and compilation time for these methods, which are generally better optimized by the language than the developer.
Consequently, use the standard getters and setters whenever possible, and implement methods that suit the purpose. This method has the added benefit of making maintenance easier for other developers, who will be more used to the behavior of standard getters/setters than those specifically implemented for the project.
