Clusters consisting of lightweight single-board devices are used in a variety use cases: from microcontrollers regulating the production process an assembly line to roadside controllers monitoring and managing traffic.Often, data that is accumulated on has be sent remote cloud centers for processing.However, with hardware capabilities continuously increasing need better performance security through local processing, directly processing cluster, known as Edge Computing, favourable solution.Recent trends such microservices, containerization serverless technology provide solutions interconnecting nodes deploying software across created cluster.This paper aims at proposing architecture clustered container applications.The relies MQTT protocol communication, Prometheus Docker swarm conjunction openFaas services cluster.Using proposed foundation, concrete traffic management application implemented proof-of-concept.Results show meets requirements.However, network set-up well were identified potential bottlenecks.
