Using KubeMQ Bridges to communicate between Edge and Cloud Clusters

Introduction:

For years companies have been migrating to the cloud. With the rise of internet-connected devices, it is normal to rely on cloud-based services for the majority of applications today.

However, the rise of edge computing has shown that there is also a need for hyper-local, distributed computing which can offer latencies and resilience that cloud ca not match. With these benefits come ever-increasing complexity both in terms of individual application development as well as overall infrastructure management.

In this article, I will take a look at the unique benefits and challenges of edge computing, as well as how a lightweight, Kubernetes-based messaging queue can meet those challenges.

Key takeaways:

In this article, the reader will be able to:

• understand what is meant by edge computing, the benefits it offers, and the challenges it faces
• understand how messaging can address the complexity and limitations of edge computing
• implement a lightweight bridge between multiple kubeMQ clusters installations

@ogoti-lilian seems like a helpful topic - approved

Let be sure to check there is no overlap with existing EngEd articles if we haven't already
