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 ...
