Crewdle

Crewdle is a mist computing platform that brings cloud computing services to the edge to help you process data where it's most useful. The idea is to help you make decisions in real time and keep data more secure by processing it on devices. Among its features:

• Real-Time Data Processing: Process and analyze data as soon as it arrives for everything from smart home devices to busy web services.
• Local Edge Computing: Run computations locally to lower latency and network usage, and to put computing power closer to where data is generated.
• Integrates with Existing Cloud Services: Bring your existing cloud services to the extreme edge, so it's easy to connect and lower costs.
• Better Security: Keep data private and in your control with processing and storage that happens closer to where the data is generated. That can help you comply with data sovereignty requirements.

Crewdle promises a single platform to bring cloud computing to the mist, cutting costs, latency and privacy problems. It also offers a range of tools:

• Pub/Sub: Send real-time messages and files to other services, sidestepping communication delays and scaling problems.
• Object Storage: Store large amounts of data with strong security and access controls, and pay less for read operations.
• Key-Value Database: Store rapidly changing data sets with high availability, scaling to different application needs and providing fast, secure access.

The company positions the platform for developers, hoping to make it easier to incorporate decentralized, edge-level computing and data processing. That'll let teams concentrate on their own projects while taking advantage of the underlying platform.

Crewdle is touting its green credentials, too, with statistics showing that it's saved 14 tons of equivalent CO2, 271 cubic meters of water and 29 MWh of energy.

Pricing isn't yet clear, since the services are in beta testing and are free to use. Crewdle expects to reveal full pricing details when the service is ready to launch.
