Edge Storage vs Cloud Storage
Developers should learn and use edge storage when building applications that demand minimal latency, high bandwidth efficiency, or offline functionality, such as in IoT systems, video analytics, or remote locations with unreliable internet meets developers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure. Here's our take.
Edge Storage
Developers should learn and use edge storage when building applications that demand minimal latency, high bandwidth efficiency, or offline functionality, such as in IoT systems, video analytics, or remote locations with unreliable internet
Edge Storage
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use edge storage when building applications that demand minimal latency, high bandwidth efficiency, or offline functionality, such as in IoT systems, video analytics, or remote locations with unreliable internet
Pros
- +It is crucial for scenarios where data privacy and sovereignty are priorities, as sensitive information can be processed locally without transmitting it to the cloud
- +Related to: edge-computing, iot-platforms
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Cloud Storage
Developers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure
Pros
- +It is essential for use cases like web/mobile app backends, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and content delivery networks (CDNs)
- +Related to: aws-s3, google-cloud-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Edge Storage if: You want it is crucial for scenarios where data privacy and sovereignty are priorities, as sensitive information can be processed locally without transmitting it to the cloud and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Cloud Storage if: You prioritize it is essential for use cases like web/mobile app backends, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and content delivery networks (cdns) over what Edge Storage offers.
