In edge computing, data is processed at the edge of the network, as opposed to being sent to a centralized data center. This approach enables real-time processing and analysis of data generated by IoT devices, mobile devices, and other endpoints. The primary focus of edge computing is to decrease the distance data needs to travel, thereby minimizing latency and improving response times. Edge computing can support various applications, including autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and remote monitoring systems, enhancing overall system performance and reliability.
