What’s required to drive edge computing capabilities further?

More and better design patterns for applications and services that take advantage of the edge. This needs to be natural not forced, streamlining not adding complexity; in short, the edge needs to deliver clear value.

The opportunities to leverage edge — for new services, saving lives and differentiating with customers — continue to expand in number, but the market can still use help in how it develops and expands. Arguments about market ownership will continue regarding hyperscalers versus others, versus a mix. I hope we have a new set of players to add options to what the hyperscalers bring to the table. The developer experience will be a big part of who wins, which is often the case these days.
