InfluxDB's Edge Data Replication (EDR) feature is designed to address the challenge of sharing data from edge nodes to a centralized cloud location. This feature facilitates efficient workflows between edge and cloud instances of InfluxDB, enabling users to control their data and use it more effectively. EDR is particularly useful for businesses that rely on highly distributed systems and applications, providing reliable, durable, and automatic replication of data from the edge to the cloud. With EDR, users can move data (or a subset) from the edge to the cloud, allowing them to access the data they need in real-time, while also reducing costs and improving efficiency by doing data transformations and aggregations on the edge before sending it to the cloud.
