FAQ
What is edge computing?
Edge computing is a distributed systems approach that brings the processing, storing, and accessing of data closer to where it’s generated and used. This includes devices, applications, on-premises locations, and the cloud.
What are edge clients?
Edge clients are any devices, sensors, machines, or applications that interact with the data at the edge before transmitting it to a central location.
What are the benefits of edge computing?
Benefits of edge computing include:
- Low latency data processing decreases response times for critical applications
- Network resilience to intermittent connectivity prevents operational disruptions
- Real-time data synchronization enables time-sensitive use cases
- Local data processing reduces exposure to breaches during transmission, increasing privacy and security
What challenges come with building edge applications?
Challenges associated with building edge applications include:
- Wide array of vendors, each for a specific purpose
- Limited computing resources
- Developing and maintaining complex sync logic that can scale
- Network bandwidth restrictions
- Implementing security protocols
