Fog Computing
Developers should learn fog computing when building applications that require real-time data processing, low latency, or operate in bandwidth-constrained environments, such as IoT systems, industrial automation, or healthcare monitoring
Pros
- +It's essential for scenarios where sending all data to the cloud is impractical due to latency, cost, or privacy concerns, enabling localized decision-making and efficient data management
- +Related to: edge-computing, cloud-computing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Internet of Things if: You want it's essential for creating connected systems that improve efficiency, enable predictive maintenance, and enhance user experiences through automation and data-driven insights and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Fog Computing if: You prioritize it's essential for scenarios where sending all data to the cloud is impractical due to latency, cost, or privacy concerns, enabling localized decision-making and efficient data management over what Internet of Things offers.
