The world was already in a fast-accelerating race to adopt digital technologies. The pandemic added the equivalent of a “Nitro Boost” to the world’s digital ambitions. From a distributed workforce to remote customers, enterprises are now engaged in extending the boundaries of their digital landscape. The aim is to enable customers as well as employees to leverage seamless interactions and engagement for maximum benefit. In the world of software product development, this is accelerating adoption in a couple of areas that had already become the norm; Agile development with DevOps and cloud deployment. The Rise of Edge Computing While agile and cloud have been around for over a decade now, the way applications are built and deployed today is undergoing a bit of a transformation. The emergence of microservices architectures and multi-cloud and hybrid environments are driving innovation as technology continues to evolve. In this context, the  rise of edge computing  is being closel...

The global proliferation of IoT-based smart devices has brought convenience to our fingertips, since the beginning of the decade. Fast forward 10 years and incredibly convoluted, real-time, lightning-fast operations have ceased to awe us and are, in fact, quite commonplace. However, the technology that makes IoT (Internet of Things) and its technological miracles happen is quite interesting and complex. Let’s explore edge computing – the technology that brings the processing and the data closer to the smart devices. Edge computing has taken the world of technology by storm, owing to its very principle that enables the computing and storage of data at the edge of the network, closer to where the data originates from. Along with a radical reduction in latency, edge computing is paving the way for an enhanced, more efficient network infrastructure, one that enables 5G services. Modern businesses across domains should leverage the Edge to avail significant business benefits such as speed t...
