5G offers reduced latency, high reliability, and large bandwidth, but which use cases make the most sense? Macrometa CTO & Co-Founder Durga Gokina discusses how 5G is changing the way we see and experience data.
I've been fortunate to have had a professional life that has exposed me to many experiences. I've not just tried my hand at software architecture and engineering, but also have been a full time professional quantitative trader for many years. The majority of my trading was with Index and Currency futures on Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), as well as trading US equities.
Over the last few years the focus of enterprises has been on cloud computing, but increasingly the focus is shifting towards edge computing which provides benefit of low latency and real-time processing. But many real world edge applications require state to provide meaningful results whether that edge application is for:
Let’s say you want to build an online multiplayer game that takes advantage of edge computing to provide low latency and a fast and real time user experience. These kinds of games are hard to build because you need to understand low-level networking inside game engines (like unity or unreal), and deal with lots of complexity when it comes to sending and receiving state data as well as storing it
The emergence and the fast growth of Mobile Apps, Web Apps, Single Page Apps, and APIs within the past few years is a telltale sign of the growing importance and demand for speed and faster user experiences by users. And this is not simply a psychological need for speed in our ever-accelerating and connected world. It is a requirement.
