Edge Computing: Architecture, Implications and Future with Latest Trends

As a result of the proliferation of Internet-connected smart devices brought about by the explosive growth of the Internet of Everything (IoE), lower bandwidth load, slower response, bad security, and poor privacy are just some of the issues that have arisen with data growth. Edge computing solutions have arisen as a response to the limitations of traditional cloud computing in meeting the data processing demands of modern societies. Edge computing, the new era of distributed computing, differs from cloud computing in that it places greater emphasis on being physically proximate to both the user and the data itself. The primary focus of this article is a critical examination of the associated literature and findings around edge computing. Edge computing is first briefly compared with cloud computing. Then, briefly discuss edge computing's architecture, followed by major challenges with edge computing and ending with latest trends with edge computing.
