1. A method of implementing edge-based cloud computing including an edge server that communicates with end users and arranges application resources, the method comprising: (0) (7)

determining an edge server from a plurality of geographically distributed edge servers within a cloud to use to communicate with a user device based on an efficiency threshold, wherein a content delivery network comprises the plurality of geographically distributed edge servers;

receiving, at the determined edge server, an application service request from a user device;

analyzing the application service request to gather metrics about historical responses provided by applications in each of a plurality of clouds;

based on the gathered metrics, determining a cloud of the plurality of clouds to which to direct the application service request;

forwarding the application service request to a compute platform in the determined cloud;

capturing a response to the application service request from the determined cloud; and

responding to the application service request.
