PREVENTING DATA OVERFLOW IN EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEMS

Data overflows can be prevented in edge computing systems. For example, an edge computing system (ECS) can include a memory buffer for storing incoming data from client devices. The ECS can also include a local storage device. The ECS can determine that an amount of available storage space in the local storage device is less than a predefined threshold amount. Based on determining that the amount of available storage space is less than the predefined threshold amount, the ECS can prevent the incoming data from being retrieved from the memory buffer. And based on determining that the amount of available storage space is greater than or equal to the predefined threshold amount, the ECS can retrieve the incoming data from the memory buffer and store the incoming data in the local storage device. This may prevent data overflows associated with the local storage device.
