Designing the Edge: Infrastructure, Connectivity, and Resilience for Modern Distributed Systems

By James Relington

Designing the Edge: Infrastructure, Connectivity, and Resilience for Modern Distributed Systems is a practical and in-depth guide to building, operating, and scaling edge computing platforms across real-world environments. It explores how to design distributed systems beyond the data center, covering hardware, networking, data pipelines, security, observability, and resilience in locations where connectivity is imperfect and conditions are unpredictable. Through a focus on real operational challenges such as local processing, edge AI, lifecycle management, governance, and large-scale deployment, the book provides a complete framework for engineers and architects to create reliable, scalable, and efficient edge infrastructures that bridge the gap between physical environments and modern digital systems.
