Here is a brief write-up on how platform engineering goes with edge: https://avassa.io/articles/edge-computing-platform-engineering/ Feel free to comment or DM with any thoughts or feedback!

got to drop the og of edge computing in here 😂 https://medium.com/chick-fil-atech/enterprise-restaurant-compute-f5e2fd63d20f

Weaveworks is doing some work in this space https://github.com/weaveworks-liquidmetal - as well as https://github.com/smartxworks/virtink using microvms on baremetal

Hi! If you're looking for something to read this Tuesday, I wanted to share this write-up. It's about what the first 10-12 months of an edge computing rollout could entail, from the viewpoint of a platform engineer. I'm curious to know: For those of you who have been involved in a project like this, do the stages, challenges, and considerations mentioned in the write-up align with your own experiences?

This article generated a lot of interest - seems that CI/CD data should be entering the software catalog https://thenewstack.io/simplify-ci-cd-with-a-general-purpose-software-catalog/

Exellent read @Roni Floman! Any thoughts on how this would apply to edge environments where there is e.g. hundreds of locations to deploy into?

Let me get back to you!

Hi, what are some of the challenges with platform engineering in edge? Can someone share their approach? My feel is edge has alot of additional complexity that I imagine most developers don't want to deal with. They just want code to run closest to end users

@Carl Moberg reviewing the docs re: you support multi tenancy, how do you do that with isolation of workloads and applications? Do you support Firecracker VM's on a physical host?

Hi guys, check out this use case from Israel, where flying robots help optimize fruit harvesting. Each of those robots is an edge device that analyzes real-time the quality of multiple fruits at the same time and makes decisions which ones to pick, which ones to drop etc. Drop me a note if you are interested how this is architectured - but sneak preview, this is about just as conventional as managing any k8s cluster, and we applied gitops to scale configurations across the fleet.

Speaking of Chick-fil-A and their example-setting edge journey: Check out this podcast episode where Brian Chambers and Stephen Foskett talk about developer-friendly (read: platform engineering compliant) edge application management, also featuring @Carl Moberg. https://utilizingtech.com/podcast/season-5/developer-friendly-edge-application-management-with-avassa/

MQ, MB, or both? 🤔 My friend wrote about the differences between message brokers and message queues. Before you start building your next modern distributed project you should read this article to determine which is the best technology for your app needs. Will be great to hear some feedback 🙂 https://medium.com/memphis-dev/comparing-message-queues-and-message-brokers-understanding-the-differences-dc776f0c3002

My colleague wrote this article for Edge Industry Review on the importance of comfortable abstractions when managing applications at the distributed on-site edge. Recommended read!
