description: Firebolt is Comcast's application platform for building apps that run on TVs, set-top boxes,
  and other connected home devices. The Firebolt SDK exposes a family of JavaScript APIs (Lifecycle, Metrics,
  Device, Authentication, Discovery, Profile, Localization, Account) that let developers write once and
  deploy to any supported device. Firebolt is defined with OpenRPC and ships as a publicly hosted npm
  package (@firebolt-js/sdk) with zero runtime dependencies.
