The resource allocation method and apparatus are based on edge computing. The method includes: decomposing all application systems in a server into a plurality of meta-service units according to the coupling degree between different service modules in the application systems, and obtaining the quality of experience (QoE) index parameter value of each meta-service unit; clustering the plurality of meta-service units by using a clustering algorithm based on the QoE index parameter value of each meta-service unit; and allocating resources to each cluster according to the QoE index parameter values of all meta-service units in each cluster, so that all meta-service units in each cluster share the allocated resources. According to the invention, the resource allocation is more reasonable, the QoE value of a user is increased, and the resource use is more effective.
