Edge Compute Systems And Methods
An exemplary system includes a cloud server configured to provide a service to a client device by way of a network. The cloud server implements a batch layer of a data-processing architecture. The system further includes an edge computing device configured to provide a latency-sensitive task of the service to the client device by way of the network in response to a request from the client device to offload the latency-sensitive task. The edge computing device is separate from and communicatively coupled to the cloud server, is located at an edge of the network such that a latency of data communications between the edge computing device and the client device is lower than a latency of data communications between the cloud server and the client device, and implements a speed layer of the data-processing architecture at the edge of the network.

- 1. A system comprising:
a cloud server configured to provide a service to a client device by way of a network, the cloud server implementing a batch layer of a data-processing architecture; and an edge computing device, separate from and communicatively coupled to the cloud server, configured to provide a latency-sensitive task associated with the service to the client device by way of the network in response to a request from the client device to offload the latency-sensitive task, the edge computing device:
located at an edge of the network such that a latency of data communications between the edge computing device and the client device is lower than a latency of data communications between the cloud server and the client device, and
implementing a speed layer of the data-processing architecture at the edge of the network.
- 10. An edge computing device comprising:
a communication interface configured to communicate, by way of a network, with a client device and with a cloud server that provides a service to the client device by way of the network, the cloud server implementing a batch layer of a data-processing architecture; a physical processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the physical processor to direct the edge computing device to provide, by way of a speed layer of the data-processing architecture implemented by the edge computing device, a latency-sensitive task associated with the service to the client device from an edge of the network in response to a request from the client device to offload the latency-sensitive task, the edge of the network located, in terms of latency, nearer to the client device than the cloud server is to the client device.
- 15. A method comprising:
providing a service from a cloud server to a client device by way of a network, the cloud server implementing a batch layer of a data-processing architecture; and providing a latency-sensitive task associated with the service from an edge computing device to the client device by way of the network in response to a request from the client device to offload the latency-sensitive task, the edge computing device:
separate from and communicatively coupled to the cloud server,
located at an edge of the network such that a latency of data communications between the edge computing device and the client device is lower than a latency of data communications between the cloud server and the client device, and
implementing a speed layer of the data-processing architecture at the edge of the network.
