  Golioth is an IoT device management cloud and firmware SDK for connected
  hardware. The platform pairs an open-source Firmware SDK (Zephyr RTOS, nRF
  Connect SDK, ESP-IDF, ModusToolbox, Linux) with a REST Management API at
  api.golioth.io, a web console, and services for OTA firmware updates, device
  settings, remote procedure calls (RPC), structured time-series data
  (LightDB Stream), key/value device state (LightDB State), logs, location,
  and a Pipelines data-routing engine that forwards device data to downstream
  cloud services. Authentication to the Management API is via project-scoped
  API keys passed in the x-api-key header.
