Can someone ELI5 what is does "edge" computing means?
The way I understand it is that is moving some operations closer to the client to avoid bandwidth costs and improve performance.
I thought of the Tesla car computer as edge computing, as it does a lot of processing within the car that would otherwise add latency and reliance on a internet connection.
But for web browsers? Going to some websites?
What sort of apps need this functionality?
Seems like over-engineering, so I'm looking for someone to explain me.
