Edge computing involves processing data at the edge of networks, close to end devices like IoT sensors, to reduce latency and improve response times. Traditional models relying on centralized data centers face challenges with the growing volume of IoT data. Edge computing addresses these by enabling local data processing, which is crucial for real-time applications. However, it introduces security and reliability concerns that need to be managed. As edge computing becomes mainstream, its importance will grow with the increasing use of real-time applications.
