What it shows

  • Edge processes data right on IoT hardware with sub-5ms response times.
  • Fog aggregates and normalizes local sensor streams at LAN gateways.
  • Cloud handles unbounded storage, heavy ML training, and global state.

The takeaway

Compute location is a latency versus capacity trade-off: push filters to edge and heavy analytics to cloud.
