Implementations offload visual frames from a client device to a gateway or edge device 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 a gateway or edge device preloaded with a resource that corresponds to the requested data service. After the gateway or edge device processes the visual frames using the resource, the processed visual frames can be returned to the client device. In implementations, the offload device and client device are situated in a network such that a latency for the offload communications supports real-time video display. A gateway device manager can locate a gateway connected to the client device, and resources can be deployed (or the gateway can be prepopulated) so that the device can perform gateway services and edge processing services for the client device.
