A one-page planner to draw the edge-cloud line for your own fleet: which jobs run at the edge (timing-critical, bandwidth-heavy, privacy-sensitive) vs the cloud (compute-heavy, fleet-wide, occasional); how to keep the pipe thin (metadata + clips, not full video); the triage cascade that filters the stream; the store-and-forward / ring-buffer resilience check; and the data-minimisation / cross-border / biometric legal gate to confirm before video leaves the building.

Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This planner draws the edge-cloud line for your fleet: timing-critical jobs at the edge, compute-heavy jobs in the cloud, a thin metadata pipe and a legal gate before video leaves. Our seven-volume handbook covers this stack; Volume 7 covers real-time pipelines, serving and regulation, Volume 3 covers delivery, and Volume 1 covers encoding. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
