Glydways Tech Stack

On-demand urban transit systems with integrated hardware and software

Urban Transit Services South San Francisco, California 51–200 employees Founded 2016 Privately Held

Glydways builds on-demand mass-transit vehicles and the backend systems to operate them at scale. The stack reveals a hardware-software integration challenge: embedded systems work (FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, Yocto, NXP processors) runs alongside cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ), with explicit focus on safety (SecureBoot, OT network security) and real-time reliability. Active projects span vehicle control, ticketing systems, and deployment automation—a signature pattern for hardware startups moving from prototype to city rollouts.
