Does edge computing replace cloud infrastructure?

No — edge complements cloud. Use edge for low-latency processing and cloud for heavy analytics and long-term storage.

What use-cases benefit most from edge?

AR/VR, live video processing, industrial IoT, and multiplayer gaming benefit most from edge deployments.

Edge vs Cloud: a practical decision guide

Edge computing reduces latency by moving compute closer to users or devices. When milliseconds matter, edge is often the right choice — but it comes with operational complexity.

Choose edge for latency-sensitive operations.
Keep cloud for heavy batch analytics and centralized management.
