Golioth

Golioth provides cloud infrastructure for Internet of Things devices, positioned as "IoT infrastructure as code." The platform lets embedded teams write firmware once and connect hardware across Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, Thread and Bluetooth, including Bluetooth cloud connectivity through gateways rather than custom bridge software. Device types are administered through a single console, API and billing system, and the company maintains a list of compatible off-the-shelf hardware.

Core capabilities include Golioth Pipelines, which routes and transforms device data to cloud services such as AWS, Azure, GCP and custom APIs using YAML configuration, with routing based on device type, location or data content and updatable without firmware changes. Fleet management features cover real-time connection and health monitoring, bulk operations across device groups with safety controls, remote diagnostics and logging, and device cohorts for targeted updates and configuration. The company also offers hybrid AI features, described as orchestration of inference on device, in the cloud and across connected systems, with over-the-air model updates that do not require firmware updates, edge inference with cascading to cloud models, routing of AI outputs into business systems, and training on data from deployed devices.

Golioth's site states that the company is now part of Canonical.
