Baetyl is an open-source edge computing framework from Linux Foundation Edge that extends cloud computing, data, and services to edge devices. It runs on Kubernetes/K3S at edge nodes, providing device connection, message routing, remote synchronization, function computing, video capture, AI inference, and OTA configuration updates managed from a cloud management suite.

Use cases

• deploy applications to edge nodes from a cloud console
• run AI inference on edge devices like AI all-in-one machines
• manage IoT device connections and message routing at the edge
• synchronize data and configuration between cloud and edge via shadow OTA
• run edge computing on 5G roadside boxes
• perform function computing (FaaS) at the edge
• keep edge services running during temporary offline periods

When to choose

• you need cloud-native edge computing with Kubernetes/K3S at edge nodes
• you want centralized cloud management of distributed edge nodes
• you need low-latency or offline-capable computing on strong edge devices
• you want to run AI inference or video capture workloads at the edge

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight edge agent for resource-constrained devices (Kube mode needs ~1G memory)
• you only need a simple MQTT broker without edge orchestration
• you want a fully managed commercial edge platform without self-hosting
