Fog computing

Fog computing is a decentralized computing paradigm that extends cloud computing capabilities to the edge of the network, closer to the data source. By distributing computing resources and services to local devices and infrastructure, fog computing aims to reduce latency, enhance efficiency, and improve the overall performance of applications and services. This approach is particularly beneficial for Internet of Things (IoT) environments, where real-time processing and low-latency communication are crucial. Fog computing leverages the proximity of edge devices to process data locally, saving bandwidth and ensuring faster response times, while still maintaining a connection to the centralized cloud for more resource-intensive tasks and storage.
