Description: Edge caching is a storage technique used in edge computing to store frequently accessed data closer to the end user. This significantly improves access speed to information, reducing latency and optimizing application performance. By storing data at the edge of the network, the need to make requests to central servers is minimized, resulting in a smoother and faster experience for users. This strategy is particularly relevant in environments where speed and efficiency are critical, such as in content delivery networks, streaming applications, online gaming, and real-time services. Edge caching not only enhances access speed but can also reduce the load on central infrastructure, allowing for more efficient resource use. Additionally, being closer to users, edge caching can better adapt to local needs, providing personalized and relevant content more effectively.
