VergeDB: A Database for IoT Analytics on Edge Devices

Summary: VergeDB: an edge-focused DB that performs adaptive, task-aware compression of IoT time-series and exposes analytics/ML as first-class operations, enabling in-situ queries on raw or compressed data. Optimizes compute/storage/network tradeoffs to maximize throughput and downstream accuracy. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
