Instead of shipping every byte to a centralized data center, computation happens at the periphery—closer to where data originates.</p> <h2 id="why-edge-computing-matters-now">Why Edge Computing Matters Now</h2> <p>Three forces are driving this shift:</p> <ol> <li><strong>5G networks</strong> provide the bandwidth and low latency edge nodes need</li> <li><strong>IoT device explosion</strong> generates terabytes of data that make no sense to transmit raw</li> <li><strong>AI inference at the edge</strong> demands real-time responses for autonomous vehicles, factory robotics, and AR applications</li> </ol> <h2 id="architecture-patterns">Architecture Patterns</h2> <p>Modern edge architectures typically follow a three-tier model:</p>
