👉 Temporary computing, also known as ephemeral or transient computing, refers to the use of computing resources that exist only for a short period and are not stored permanently on a storage device. These resources include data processed in memory, temporary files, or in-memory databases, which are created to support immediate computational tasks and then discarded once they are no longer needed. This approach is efficient for handling large volumes of data or complex computations that require quick access and processing but do not need to be retained long-term. Temporary computing is widely used in cloud computing, big data analytics, and real-time applications where speed and resource efficiency are critical.
