This paper presents comprehensive evaluations and assessments of cloud, fog, and edge computing platforms. The main objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of these platforms and to identify the most suitable platform for various use cases. The paper begins by providing an overview of cloud computing and the various deployment techniques that are available. The concept of fog computing is then discussed, including its architecture and key components. Finally, this study examines the benefits of computing, including its architecture, advantages, and limitations. The study also compares the three platforms based on various criteria, such as scalability, latency, reliability, security, and cost. The results of the study demonstrate that the platform choice is impacted by the specific requirements of the application and that each platform has its own strengths and weaknesses. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of considering the trade-off between performance and cost when choosing the most appropriate platform for a particular use case.
