What is edge? What is cloud? What is the difference and what are the different requirements for each use case? I talked to Samy Fodil, CEO and founder of Taubyte, about edge computing, industrial IoT and how the edge requires a dramatically different approach from the cloud. 

Highlights:

Why edge is a truly distributed system, unlike the cloud. 

What inspired Fodil to start Taubyte and why he thinks the edge will be the default computing platform in the years to come.

What overlap there is in skill sets between on-prem development, cloud development and developing edge-native applications.

Why edge-to-edge communications can be so hard for developers to understand. 

What barriers prevent companies from taking advantage of the edge and why it’s worth it for those businesses in spite of the complexity.
