A lightweight storage framework for edge computing infrastructures/EdgePersist

The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) and the ever increasing volumes of data they are gathering and generating are putting a heavy strain on network infrastructures that are struggling to maintain the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of applications. This work presents a novel edge storage solution that is moving most of the data storage, processing and exchange operation to the edge, near the devices that generate and/or use all of these data. Since this solution is meant for IoT edge networks it is designed to be decentralized, lightweight and inherently scalable, based on Kubernetes, MinIO and Dataset Lifecycle Framework.
