An embodiment for coordinating edge computing in a mobile network by an MEC orchestrator. The embodiment may monitor deployment metrics and controlling deployment parameters related to a deployment of software applications on edge nodes of the mobile network The embodiment may receive an optimization report from a network orchestrator of the mobile network. The embodiment may, based on the optimization report, determine a current optimization efficiency of the mobile network. The embodiment may, if the optimization efficiency fulfils an inefficiency criterion, determine deployment suggestions having assigned one or more of the deployment parameters and being indicative of an expected response of one or more of the deployment metrics to a suggested variation of the assigned deployment parameters. The embodiment may transmit the deployment suggestions to the network orchestrator. The embodiment may, in response to receiving from the network orchestrator an indication of a selected deployment suggestion, apply the suggested variation.
