Turning good intentions into real impact.

Meeting your sustainability goals takes cultural change. We speak the language of your technical, sustainability and finance teams to make it happen.

DigitalPebble helps organisations reduce the financial and environmental impact of their cloud and on premise operations. We work at the intersection of Green Software, GreenOps and FinOps. Most changes that cut emissions also cut the bill, so the two goals reinforce each other.

  • Workshops & Training

    Workshops & Training

    Practical workshops for your engineering, finance and sustainability teams. GreenOps covers measuring and reducing the environmental footprint of cloud systems. FinOps covers how teams work together to get more business value from cloud spend. We walk practitioners through processing AWS Cost and Usage Reports, querying them with open source tools, and enriching them with environmental impact data using SPRUCE, our open source GreenOps platform. Workshops are a low commitment way to build capability in house, and often where larger engagements start.

  • Advisory

    Advisory

    Measuring the environmental impact of cloud is hard. Provider data is incomplete or misleading, the tooling landscape is fragmented, and the standards are still emerging. We start from the context that already exists in your organisation: the FinOps tools you have adopted, the sustainability objectives you are committed to, the teams already involved. From there we help you build a GreenOps practice that fits. We advise on best practices, on organisational patterns (the right roles, methodology and profiles to hire), and on both commercial and open source tooling. We are not tied to any vendor, and our recommendations come from work we have done ourselves. We are certified FinOps practitioners and look at cost and carbon together.

  • Implementation

    Implementation

    We design, deploy and run the tooling that makes GreenOps work day to day, from data pipelines and integrations to dashboards your teams will use. We do the engineering ourselves rather than handing it to a delivery team. We also sit between management, engineering and FinOps teams, which keeps the measurement connected to the decisions that get made about decarbonisation and cloud spend.
