Cloud computing ruled the world of application design for years. For scalability, go to the cloud. For storage, go to the cloud. For AI computations, use the cloud. However, real-time applications are reaching a limit. The Latency Problem There are systems that cannot tolerate even the slightest lag while waiting for data to reach faraway servers. Some examples include: 1.Autonomous vehicles 2.Industrial automation solutions 3.Smart surveillance systems 4.Health monitoring 5.IoT And this is where edge computing comes into play. How Edge Computing Actually Works Instead of running everything on centralized cloud servers, edge computing processes data near where the data originated.…
