edgecompute
Edge computing, sometimes written as edgecompute, is a distributed computing paradigm that processes data near its source rather than in centralized data centers. By running applications at or close to sensors, devices, and users, edge computing aims to reduce latency, lower bandwidth use, improve privacy, and enable offline operation for connected systems.
Core components include edge devices such as sensors and cameras, edge gateways or micro data centers located
Common deployment models are on-premises edge at the customer site, near-edge facilities operated by network providers
Benefits include lower latency, reduced bandwidth, improved data privacy, and resilience in situations with intermittent connectivity.
Edge computing complements cloud computing by moving time-sensitive processing closer to data sources while still integrating
