Software & middleware
Harden middleware for deterministic timing, upgrades, and observability.
How we approach Software & middleware
Middleware choices affect latency, determinism, and failure containment: DDS profiles, executor models, and node lifecycle management need explicit policies. We help teams structure graphs and QoS for real loads.
Security updates and OTA require signing, rollback, and compatibility matrices across hardware revs.
Observability - tracing, structured logs, and health topics - supports field diagnosis without SSH heroics.

Middleware policies are versioned like application code.
- Executor and thread priorities aligned to control deadlines.
- Backpressure and drop policies for sensor streams.
- Release processes with staged rollouts and health gates.
