In short
Edge computing runs processing close to where data is created, in factories, shops, vehicles or telecom sites, rather than in a central cloud; this topic also covers IoT and industrial systems. Buyers care about managing many small sites remotely, securing devices and operational technology, and working with connectivity that can’t be taken for granted.

Advancing NetOps-as-Code: Strategic momentum, enhanced security, and multimode automation
The 3rd quarter of 2026 has shown that network automation isn’t just a "nice to have," but rather a critical support for AI-driven workloads, edge computing, and hybrid cloud environments. Organizations are moving away from manual Day 2 operations and ad hoc solutions to a comprehensive, integrated automation platform. For network operations (NetOps) teams, this means transitioning from managing…

Under the hood, off the hot path: How D1 scales to millions of databases
A deep dive into how D1 architected its control plane to scale and manage millions of databases, while keeping data plane query operations at the edge. We share guiding principles on how to build on the Developer Platform effectively.

Amazon CloudFront now supports AWS Lambda Web Functions as an origin
Starting today, you can deliver web applications built on AWS Lambda Web Functions through CloudFront's global edge network. With CloudFront in front of a Lambda Web Function, you get TLS termination at the edge for lower latency and faster connections, caching for better performance, and custom domains with managed TLS certificates. No changes to application code are needed. CloudFront Origin…

MLOps at the edge: Running AI models at the edge
In Part 1: Preparing AI models for deployment, we saw how our model left the training pipeline as a signed, optimized Open Container Initiative (OCI) artifact ready to travel to the edge. Now, our next question is: what will be the implications of running those AI workloads at the edge? Running AI inference in a data center means using standardized hardware and abundant memory. At the edge, a…

MLOps for edge AI: Preparing AI models for deployment at the edge
When I started playing with AI models for edge computing use cases, everything went smoothly. But once I reached the "it works" point and started thinking about how to operationalize it, the whole thing became more complicated. I started to question how a trained model becomes something you can ship to the edge. How can I get the most out of edge devices while running AI models? How can I manage…

Frequently asked questions
When does edge computing make sense?
When latency, bandwidth cost, unreliable connections or data rules make sending everything to a central cloud impractical, for example machine vision on a production line.
What is the difference between IT and OT security?
IT security protects business systems and data. Operational technology (OT) security protects systems that control physical processes, where safety and availability come first and devices may run for decades without patches.
How do teams manage thousands of edge sites?
With central, declarative management: devices that set themselves up, configuration pushed from one place, remote monitoring and updates that can be rolled back. Site visits should be the exception.
