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, like IoT devices, sensors, or mobile phones. ⚙️ What Is Edge Computing? Instead of sending all data to centralized cloud servers, edge computing processes data locally , at the “edge” of the network. This reduces latency, saves bandwidth, and enhances real-time performance. 🔁 Traditional Cloud vs. Edge Computing Feature Cloud Computing Edge Computing Data Location Centralized data centers Local devices or edge servers Latency Higher due to network roundtrip Very low (real-time capabilities) Bandwidth Use High Low (less data sent to the cloud) Reliability Depends on internet More resilient in offline environments Privacy & Security Data travels far Local processing limits data exposure 📱 Use Cases of Edge Computing 1. Internet of Things (IoT) Smart homes, wearables, and industrial IoT...
