Edge Computing

Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, typically at or near the source of data generation. By processing data at the “edge” of the network, near the devices and sensors that generate it, edge computing reduces latency, minimizes bandwidth usage, and enhances response times for real-time applications. This approach is particularly beneficial for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and other scenarios where timely data processing is crucial. By offloading tasks from centralized cloud servers, edge computing improves efficiency, reliability, and scalability in data-intensive and mission-critical applications.
