Edge of Innovation: Exploring the Potential of Edge Computing and Content Delivery Networks

The digital landscape has changed in recent years due to the rise in popularity of edge computing and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), which offer faster and more effective internet access. Edge computing, a solution to cloud computing constraints in the Internet of Things (IoT), offers scalability and smarter service delivery, but also faces challenges like power distribution and privacy protection. Conversely, CDNs enhance network performance by distributing content among cache servers near users, resulting in faster, more reliable apps and services, acting as reliable overlay networks. Edge computing and CDNs are becoming mainstream tech solutions that may improve many applications. This paper examines the advancements in both edge computing and CDNs across various disciplines, highlighting their revolutionary potential on the internet. It also investigates the intricate developments in these technologies, emphasizing their role in creating a networked world.
