The edge is getting a brain before it has reflexes
We asked 500 people running edge fleets one question: can your systems act on what they see?
86% say intelligence is moving to the edge. 20% have closed-loop remediation today.
Everything else in the report follows from that gap:
62% maintain glue code instead of building features
33% name failed or partial firmware updates as a common cause of incidents
13% of fleets recover on their own when connectivity drops
11% can rotate fleet credentials in minutes
Cost ranked last of seven criteria for choosing an edge platform

Applications are moving beyond the cloud — to devices, to the factory floor, and across geographies. Synadia provides a low-latency messaging platform, built on the open-source NATS project, that gives industrial and IoT systems one connective layer that runs from the far edge to the core without re-architecting each time the system changes.
