Edge computing is a distributed computing model that moves data processing and storage closer to the source of data generation, reducing the amount of data transmitted to and from central data centers. Amazon and Facebook are two companies that have adopted edge computing to revolutionize real-time data processing, delivering seamless experiences, enhanced security, and scalable infrastructure. Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced Wavelength, an edge computing service designed to bring AWS services closer to end-users and devices, enabling developers to build low-latency applications. Examples of how Amazon uses Wavelength include deploying real-time gaming and video streaming services.
