The article thoroughly explores cloud, fog, and edge computing, highlighting the distinctive features of each technology. Cloud computing provides flexibility and reliability with remote access capabilities, but encounters delays and high costs. Fog computing focuses on data processing at a low level of infrastructure, ensuring high speed and minimal delays. Edge computing shifts computations to the data source itself, eliminating delays and enhancing security. Applications of these technologies in various fields are analyzed, and their future development is predicted in the rapidly evolving world of information systems.
