Description: The Edge Data Lake is a centralized repository designed to store large volumes of data generated at the edge of the network, that is, on devices and sensors located close to the data source. This concept arises in response to the growing need to process and analyze data in real-time, minimizing latency and optimizing bandwidth usage. Unlike traditional data lakes found in the cloud, the Edge Data Lake allows for more efficient data management, facilitating access and integration of data from various distributed sources. Key features of this type of lake include the ability to store structured and unstructured data, scalability to handle large volumes of information, and flexibility to adapt to different data formats. Its relevance lies in the increasing adoption of Edge Computing technologies, where data processing occurs closer to the source, allowing for faster and more efficient responses to user needs. In an increasingly connected world, the Edge Data Lake becomes an essential tool for organizations looking to maximize their data and improve decision-making based on real-time information.
