What is Edge Computing and how it differs from Cloud computing?
In: Technology
Edge means local. Netflix will have a few servers likely stored in your ISPs days center. On this server they cache or store movies they think will be popular. This way when you select the movie that’s new it will be more local to you.
Another example of edge computing is to put services local to the entity that needs them and then submit them centrally later likely to a cloud. Think of a fast food restaurant may have a server running inside of it to power all the needs of the store. This would be faster and more distributed than having it centralized for all the stores.
