Implementations selectively offload visual frames from a client device to an edge system for processing. The client device can receive streaming visual frames and a request to process the visual frames using a data service. The client device can offload visual frames to an edge system preloaded with a workload resource that corresponds to the requested data service. After the edge system processes the offloaded visual frames using the workload resource, the edge system can return the processed visual frame to the client device. In some implementations, the edge system and client device are situated in a network such that a latency for the offload communications support real-time video display. A cloud system can maintain a registry of edge systems and provide client devices with information about nearby edge systems. The cloud system can also preload the edge systems with workload resources that correspond to data services.
