What is edge computing and how does it differ from traditional cloud computing?

Edge computing is a distributed IT architecture that processes data closer to its source rather than relying solely on centralized cloud data centers. Unlike traditional cloud computing, where data must travel long distances for processing, edge computing reduces latency and bandwidth use by analyzing information locally.

This enables faster decision-making and real-time analytics. While cloud computing focuses on scalability and centralized resources, edge computing prioritizes speed, proximity, and reliability. Together, they form a hybrid model that supports modern applications requiring instant responsiveness and low-latency performance.
