This article will go through an introduction of edge computing, a computer paradigm for performing calculations at the edge of the devices, which will be closer to the user and closer to the use of data there need only a small response time than the cloud.
With a rapid development in the field of internet of everything the number of devices using the internet has also increased this will affect the speed of internet. This will lead to the high bandwidth, slow response, poor security and poor privacy in the cloud computing models. Due to the increase in the internet of things there is a very limitation arising for the cloud computing. So there is a lead towards edge computing. It is a computer paradigm for performing calculations at the edge of the devices. It will be closer to the user and closer to the use of data there need only a small response time than the cloud. This article will go through an introduction of edge computing. The architecture of edge computing. The advantages of edge computing. The applications where it is used. A comparison between edge and cloud and finally towards the conclusion.
