Quick Definition:
Edge Computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. This is expected to improve response times and save bandwidth.
Benefits for the Project
- Reduced Latency: Faster response times for real-time applications.
- Bandwidth Savings: Less data needs to be sent to the cloud, reducing costs.
- Improved Reliability: Applications can continue to function even if the connection to the cloud is lost.
- Enhanced Privacy: Sensitive data can be processed locally rather than being sent to the cloud.
Why It Matters
As more projects involve IoT, real-time analytics, and low-latency requirements, PMs must understand the role of edge computing in their project architecture.
