What We Learned from Building Edge Computing Nodes
summary
Deploys three real systems and what actually worked: an airport LoRa sensor network that loses years off expected lifetime because of LoRa battery misread and packet retries, a retail rollout that self‑DDoSes the API at closing time solved by an SQLite per-store cache and batched rsync, and a 115-node Raspberry Pi cluster running HashiCorp Nomad for fish farms that costs under $50/device and succeeds by using boring hardware plus CPU‑specific stripped binaries and offline‑first monitoring.
