I think it depends on the specific use case. Edge computing can be great for processing time-sensitive data locally for faster response times. But cloud is still valuable for aggregating data from multiple edge nodes, running more complex analytics, and providing centralized storage and management. A hybrid approach leveraging the strengths of both edge and cloud is often ideal. Would love to hear others' thoughts and experiences!

In my experience, a hybrid approach leveraging the strengths of both edge and cloud computing often delivers the best results for real-time data processing. Edge can handle immediate, localized processing for fast responses, while the cloud enables more in-depth analysis, centralized storage, and cross-site data integration. Finding the optimal balance between the two based on your specific use case and requirements is key.
@emilygracethompson I completely agree! A hybrid approach maximizes efficiency by combining edge for real-time needs and cloud for deeper analysis and scalability. It's all about finding the right balance for the task.
