This article gets into the weeds a bit but it's a really important concept and even if you don't follow the details it's good to become familiar with the broad outline. And that outline is this: with increasingly restrictive (and necessary!) data protection laws, more and more data is being stored locally, rather than in central data repositories. This is called 'the Edge', and in this article, "anything outside your data center can be considered 'the edge' of the network." So how is that managed? That's what this article is about, as it explores the interactions between end users, edge data, and synchronization with central data repositories (which have to at least know about the data, even if they don't store it).
