121 - Edge Computing with Jaxon Repp

What is "The Edge"?  The answer is that it means different things to different people, but it always involves lifting logic, data, and processing load off of your backend servers and onto other machines.  Sometimes those machines are spread out over many small datacenters, or sometimes they are in the hands of your customers.  In all cases, computing on the edge is a different paradigm that requires new ways of thinking about coding.  We're super lucky to have Jaxon on the show to share his experiences with edge computing and dive into this topic!! 00:00:23 Introduction 00:01:15 Introducing Jaxon Repp 00:01:42 What is HarperDB? 00:08:10 Edge Computing 00:10:06 What is the “Edge” 00:14:58 Jaxon’s history with Edge Computing and HarperDB 00:22:35 Edge Computing in everyday life 00:26:12 Tesla AI and data 00:28:09 Edge Computing in the oil industry 00:35:23 Docker containers 00:42:33 Databases 00:48:29 Data Conflicts 00:55:43 HarperDB for personal use 01:00:00 MeteorJS 01:02:29 Netflix, as an example 01:06:19 The speed of edge computing 01:08:43 HarperDB’s work environment and who is Harper? 01:10:30 The Great Debate 01:12:17 Career opportunities in HarperDB 01:18:56 Quantum computing 01:21:22 Reach HarperDB 01:23:53 Raspberry Pi and HarperDB home applications 01:27:20 Farewells Resources mentioned in this episode: CompaniesHarperDB https://harperdb.io/MeteorJS https://www.meteor.com/ Tools Raspberry Pi https://www.raspberrypi.org/Docker https://www.docker.com/ If you’ve enjoyed this episode, you can listen to more on Programming Throwdown’s website: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/ Reach out to us via email: programmingthrowdown@gmail.com You can also follow Programming Throwdown on  Facebook | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Player.FM  Join the discussion on our Discord Help support Programming Throwdown through our Patreon ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
