Abstract
Edge computing has emerged as a transformative architecture revolutionizing the processing of data by bringing computational resources closer to the data source. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of edge computing, emphasizing its role in improving the performance of Internet of Things (IoT) networks. By strategically placing edge devices, this architecture aims to mitigate network bandwidth and latency issues, reducing strain on traditional cloud computing centers. The study conducts a comparative analysis of various edge computing implementations, assessing their effectiveness in addressing the unique challenges posed by data-intensive services. Access latency is identified as a potential bottleneck, necessitating a nuanced examination of its impact on overall system performance. Security concerns in the decentralized edge environment, the risk of incomplete data, and the associated investment and maintenance costs are discussed as key challenges.Keywords- Edge Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Edge Environment.
