  • General Challenge / Freestyle

Inspiration

-According to EPA, a car, on average, emits 411 grams of CO2 per mile and it had me thinking about how much carbon emissions cloud service I use a daily basis use.

What it does

  • It calculates the carbon emissions of a cloud service's use over a given duration of time.

How I built it

  • Researched different APIs that gave data on the carbon emissions of each cloud service. I settled on Climatiq 's API.
  • I started by fleshing out the frontend (a rare approach for me)
  • Sorted out the API requests on the backend. (I only got one page to work.)

Challenges we ran into

  • Making API requests, SvelteKit has a particular way of doing it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • The fact I pushed my problem-solving skill to the limit and completed my first hackathon.

What we learned

  • How to use SvelteKit.
  • How differently each framework does routing.

What's next for Carbon Cloud

  • Hopefully finishing the other pages
