Beginning in the 1990's, the term “edge computing” was used to describe a variety of compute services that were placed geographically closer to end users.

In this video, RedMonk and Cloudflare explore what “edge” means today, and how the evolution of edge services is forcing users to rethink what's possible at the edge.
