From Space to Code: Using NASA's Open Data APIs with Kepler
This talk explores NASA’s open APIs, featuring data on astronomy, Mars, exoplanets, and Earth observation. It demonstrates building educational, inspiring, and sustainable applications, highlighting how to measure application power efficiency with Kepler (Kubernetes Efficient Power Level Exporter) to promote environmentally-friendly development using NASA’s datasets.

Do you know that NASA has a wealth of open APIs where you can access fascinating data from across our solar system and beyond?
In this talk we will discuss the:
With these rich datasets, we'll demonstrate how to build applications that not only educate and inspire users, but also empower them to make more sustainable choices. We’re looking into measuring our own application with Kepler, not to be confused with the first satelite to discover exoplanets, but with the Kubernetes Efficient Power Level Exporter everyone can use. Kepler is a tool that is used to measure the power efficiency of applications running on Kubernetes.
Let’s unlock the power of Kepler together with NASA's open data to forge a path towards a more environmentally-friendly future.
In this talk we will discuss the:
- Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) - Get a glimpse into the beauty and mysteries of our universe through stunning space photography.
- Mars Exploration - Can we live on the Red Planet? What are NASA’s plans for future missions?
- Exoplanet Exploration - Is the possible life on other planets?
- Earth Observation - Analyse the data of our own earth to make discoveries if we look into the climate, environmental health, and ecosystems.
