Golioth

Golioth, Inc. is a US IoT infrastructure company founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco. It was acquired by Canonical in 2025 but continues to operate under the Golioth brand, providing a cloud backend for teams building connected products on microcontrollers so they do not need to develop custom device-management infrastructure from scratch.

The Golioth platform connects devices over Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, Thread, or Bluetooth, and includes tools for over-the-air firmware updates, remote logging, bulk device operations, and data pipelines that route telemetry to external cloud services. It is used by embedded engineering teams at companies such as Ribbit Network and Method Recycling to move connected hardware from prototype to production.

1. Multi-protocol connectivity: support Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, Thread, and Bluetooth for microcontroller devices.

2. OTA updates: push firmware patches remotely across an entire device fleet.

3. Golioth Pipelines: route telemetry data to external cloud services.

4. Remote monitoring and diagnostics: track device logs and status in real time.

5. Golioth for AI: orchestrate hybrid edge-cloud AI workloads.

6. Bulk device operations: run actions across many devices at once to reduce operating cost.
