In fact, up to now a “traditional” client-server model of application development has been the dominating approach to developing applications for at least 2 decades. The emergence of edge computing, e.g. MEC, evolves this environment, by introducing an intermediate element at the network edge.
This results in a new development model with 3 “locations”: Client, Near Server, Far Server.
The client location can be a traditional smartphone or other wireless connected compute elements in a car, smart home or industrial location that can run dedicated client applications.
a MEC Host, usually deployed at the network edge, contains a MEC platform and the compute, storage and network resources for applications in VMs or containers. The MEC platform offers a secure environment where MEC applications may, via RESTful APIs, discover, advertise, consume and offer services.
