I feel like Edge is more acceptable; running at a PoP is close to the edge; running inside an ISP network is even closer; it's not really achievable, but running in ISP managed modems or cellular base stations is pretty much the limit of plausible Edge computing.
Serverless really should mean the client does the work, but it seems pretty equivalent to shared hosting. Dreamhost (and the shell account you used to get with an ISP!) was serverless before it was cool?
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoWhen I hear "Edge" I imagine that it keeps working if you remove the ISP (e.g. it'll still talk to with other stuff on the LAN) but it works better when the internet is available. Like bit torrent. I'm aware that what they usually mean is significantly less interesting.
