Name of Project

EdgeLakeCreate

Project Description (what it does, why it is valuable, origin and history)

EdgeLake provides a software solution to manage and store data at edge nodes such that: a) distributed edge data appears as a unified collection of data (without centralizing the data), b) data processes at the edge are fully automated (for example: automated schema creation) and c) the distributed edge nodes appear and managed from a single point as a single machine.
The EdgeLake community intends to provide this software under an OSI-approved open-source license, led by a community run under open governance principles. This project is a fork of AnyLog's Network.

Statement on alignment with Foundation Mission Statement

We agree with the foundation's mission statement.

High level assessment of project synergy with existing projects under LF Edge, including how the project compliments/overlaps with existing projects, and potential ways to harmonize over time. Responses may be included both here and/or in accompanying documentation. 

Open Horizon (OH) is incorporating EdgeLake. As OH is deploying and orchestrating software at the edge (from a single point), and AnyLog manages and queries data from the distributed edge - for many projects - OH + EdgeLake replace the need in the cloud and for all other use cases lowers cloud dependency, and automates data management at the edge.

Projects EdgeX Foundry, Akraino, Hyperledger, are interested in integration with EdgeLake. AnyLog brings all these projects together: EdgeX Foundry serves the data to AnyLog Nodes (rather than cloud nodes) and a project like Smart-Transactions in Akraino queries Edge Data (as if the data is centralized), whereas data remains in-place. The blockchain is a key component in EdgeLake and Hyperledger is interested in providing the blockchain functionality.
Additional Info: Value Prop and  a Speed Layer at the Edge. See also diagrams below.
