From Making Sense of Edge Computing by Cody Bumgardner & Caylin Hickey

Edge computing systems run essential data processing tasks on the devices that make up their network, reducing laggy data transfers and expensive cloud infrastructure. Edge systems can be complex, so it’s essential to have the big picture as you explore this innovative technology. Making Sense of Edge Computing gives you an easy-to-grok technical overview, covering what sets edge computing apart from other systems, and how to get started on edge projects from personal scale IoT to geographically distributed systems demanding real-time data processing.
