Is Edge Computing a Thing?
Edge Computing is definitely a thing, but the computing need not occur at the edge. Instead what is needed is an ability to compute (anywhere) on streaming data from large numbers of dynamically changing devices, in the edge environment. This in turn demands an architectural pattern for stateful, distributed computing.
