Edge computing aims to alleviate the load on cloud data centers and minimize delay by making compute and other resources and services available closer to the users. Therefore, in this work, a critical analysis on distributed systems was conducted with a focus on the Distributed Data Management in Edge Computing Environment and it drew its recommendations for future applications such as the Internet of Things.en-USDistributed systems cloudcomputinginternet of thingsedge computingArticle
