The anatomy of an edge ML solution
The previous chapter introduced the concept of an edge solution along with the three key kinds of tools that define an edge solution with ML applications. This chapter provides more detail regarding the layers of an edge solution. The three layers addressed in this section are as follows:
- The business logic layer includes the customized code that dictates the solution's behavior.
- The physical interface layer connects your solution to the analog world with sensors and actuators.
- The network interface layer connects your solution to other digital entities in the wider network.
Learning more about these layers is important because they will inform how you, as the IoT architect, make trade-offs when designing your edge ML solution. First, we'll start by defining the business logic layer.
Designing code for business logic
The business logic layer is where all the code of your edge solution lives. This code can take...
