Systems and methods for locating microserver nodes in proximity to edge devices using georouting
Systems and methods for locating microserver nodes in proximity to edge devices using georouting. Microservers automatically form a global peer-to-peer network to serve edge functions and content to edge devices. Edge devices use HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to execute serverless functions or otherwise retrieve data from edge nodes and/or microservers located in proximity to the HTTP client. The cloud platform locates the nearest edge node and/or microserver. Edge devices georoute HTTP requests to the nearest edge node and/or microserver. Serverless functions are implemented in secure, isolated environments using a blockchain.
