Foglamp and EdgeX Foundry have significant functional overlap. Both can trace origins to a common reference architecture and both are largely attempting to serve many of the same IoT/edge use cases. There are technical differences in the two platforms (use in primary programming language and reference implementation persistent store for examples), but these were not explored in detail during the sub-group’s review. It should be a comfort to both projects (and the LF Edge community) that two independent efforts solving some of the same edge needs arrived at implementations that have so much in common. In fact, of the functional differences between the platforms, many could be described as design choices that could be equally implemented in the alternate platform if given focus and a common use case (examples: deployment or local analytics and actuation).
