This research paper explores the concept of edge computing and the advancements in this technology. Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the devices that generate and collect data in order to reduce latency and improve performance. It has been identified as a powerful tool for providing low-latency access to data and applications and is becoming increasingly popular in the IoT and 5G era. This paper focuses on the various advancements in edge computing technology, such as the emergence of edge cloud platforms and the development of edge analytics and machine learning solutions. It also discusses various applications of edge com- puting, such as autonomous driving, augmented/virtual reality, and the Internet of Things, and how they are being used to improve efficiency and reduce latency. Finally, the paper analyses the various challenges and opportunities associated with edge computing, including security, scalability and privacy concerns.
