Creating Applications on the Edge
Edge computing is a nascent technology that facilitates the processing of data near or at its point of generation, rather than in a central hub such as the cloud. This will break down a centralized computing problem and instead create a decentralized, distributed way of processing data, allowing for real-time decision-making, faster response times, and a reduction in data transmission costs. This enables you to cut costs associated with traditional investments required for centralized data processing, such as setting up a data center or cloud infrastructure. Instead, you can utilize the same devices used to collect the data to perform a portion or all of the required processing work.
Often, this is a solution that many turn to when they start looking at bigger, more complex workloads. In many cases, challenges such as processing multiple streams of data that may involve hundreds or thousands of streams at the same time in a centralized system may...
