    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!

    I find that combining both can be very effective. Using edge computing for immediate, on-site data processing and cloud computing for broader analysis and storage creates a balanced approach for real-time data needs.

    @delphia_phy That’s a smart approach! Leveraging edge computing for quick, local processing and cloud computing for extensive analysis and storage ensures efficiency and scalability.

    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.
