Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm used in web development to bring computing resources, such as processing, storage, or networking, closer to the devices or endpoints that generate or consume data, and to perform data processing and analysis at the edge of the network, rather than in the cloud or in centralized data centers. Edge computing can enable various use cases, such as real-time analytics, machine learning, or IoT, and can improve the performance, security, and reliability of web applications. Edge computing can also reduce the latency, bandwidth, and cost of transmitting data over long distances, and can support disconnected or low-bandwidth scenarios.
