Hey everyone,
I’m curious about the different approaches people here are taking to reduce latency on their edge servers. With more workloads shifting closer to the edge IoT, AI inference, real-time analytics, etc.It feels like every millisecond counts. I’ve been experimenting with a few tweaks, but I’d love to compare notes.
What tools, hardware setups, or configurations have actually made a difference for you?
For example:
- Specific NICs or network optimizations
- Lightweight OS or kernel tuning
- Caching layers or CDN-style setups
- Hardware accelerators (GPU, TPU, ASIC)
- Protocol choices (QUIC, gRPC, MQTT, etc.)
- Edge-focused platforms or frameworks
- Any clever routing or load-balancing tricks
Also curious whether anyone has tried:
- Container vs bare metal
- eBPF-based monitoring or packet processing
- AI-driven resource allocation
If you’ve got benchmarks, before-and-after results, or even just lessons learned, feel free to drop them. Looking to build a solid list of real-world strategies rather than just vendor marketing claims.
What’s working for you? What didn’t live up to the hype?
