Exciting start to my week! I sat down with Derek Collison, the inventor of NATS.io and the founder of Synadia, to discuss the future of distributed applications. We explored how AI and Edge / IoT are reshaping application development, leaving no layer of the #AppTechStack untouched. ?? The notebook in my photo? It's now filled with Derek's innovative insights on #EdgeComputing. In our session, we delved into:? ? Architectural sketches and call flow diagrams? ? Shifts in application communication paradigms? ? The importance of experimentation and observability in tech Can’t wait to refine these ideas and share them soon! Here are the key insights: ?? The convergence of Edge Computing and AI, like in autonomous vehicles ??, is revolutionizing application design. Soon, cloud development may seem as outdated as the mainframe era. ?? Application architecture at the edge will transform service and data access, notification processes, and offer real-time visibility into every aspect of business operations. How to get your apps ready for life at the edge: 1?? #DataVariety: Choose the right tools—use relational databases for structured data, use key-value stores for quick lookups and as systems of record, and use messaging systems for real-time, event-driven communication. 2?? #SmarterNotifications: Lean towards timely push updates rather than continuous polling refreshes, allow users to selectively subscribe to relevant updates, and provide personalized interactions. Use the request-reply pattern mainly for immediate confirmations, like booking a flight. 3?? #M-to-N #Communication: Accommodate the intricate needs of large-scale, distributed applications by adopting complex app communication patterns beyond traditional models. 4?? #Location-#Independent #Connectivity: Ensure seamless connectivity across different geographic locations as applications become more decentralized and globally distributed. By refining communication and notification strategies, you can greatly enhance both performance and user experience in modern and next-generation applications. ???? ?? Intrigued? ?

Derek Collison and I along with several of the Synadia folks have been having discussions about edge computing for several years around some POC's in the energy space. I love where NATS is heading and can't wait to see what else is coming down the road! Definitely one of my go-to technologies ??
Justyna Bak Thank you and Derek Collison for sharing with us such useful insights on edge computing! Carry on!
The future of AI is at the Edge not in the Cloud.
