Javascript has been enabling browsers for years, and for better or for worse, the internet is made of JS. NodeJS brought it to the server side.

Data is everywhere, not just in large centralised data centres, but in smaller outposts, like retail outlets, remote or branch offices, filming locations and even cars. Use cases for edge storage include local processing, content collaboration that cannot take place with high network latency, and for ingest – where locally created content is captured, protected and then made available to other systems.
