Systems and methods are provided for monitoring and/or controlling operations of an artificial lift system of a production well, which employ a gateway device disposed at a wellsite corresponding to the well, and at least one remote cloud-computing system operably coupled to the gateway device. The gateway device includes at least one first interface to the artificial lift system, at least one second interface to the at least one cloud-computing system, and a processor configured to execute a first application that acquires data produced by the artificial lift system and communicated to the gateway device via the first interface.
