Low-Maintenance Portals

Many underestimate the ongoing costs of individual portal development. The misconception: "Once developed, the portal runs forever." Reality looks different.

In the fast-paced IT world, regular updates, security patches and maintenance are essential. These hidden maintenance costs can exceed the original budget many times over.

Especially with complex portals with many integrations, maintenance costs rise exponentially: Every API change, every framework update, every security patch can become expensive.

• Constant updates: Every dependency must be regularly updated
• Security patches: Critical vulnerabilities require immediate, expensive interventions
• Compatibility problems: Updates can damage other portal parts
• Incalculable costs: Every update can blow time and budget

With raclette you massively reduce these problems: Our framework core is maintained and serviced separately. You benefit from:

• Automatic maintenance: The framework is kept up-to-date by us
• Reduced maintenance costs through framework separation
• Stable foundation: Your portal features remain compatible
• Focus on business: More time for features instead of code architecture

The key to low-maintenance portals lies in separation: Framework core vs. your business logic.

raclette handles the software infrastructure: Authentication, API layer, database connections, security updates. Your portal-specific features remain unaffected.

Since raclette is Open Source, you benefit from community updates and still have full control. No vendor lock-ins, no unexpected license costs.

Security is a central part of portal maintenance. While you focus on your features, we take care of the foundation:

• Standard security features: Authentication, encryption, session management are integrated
• Dependency monitoring: We monitor and update critical components
• Proven practices: The framework follows established security standards
• Open Source transparency: No hidden backdoors or vulnerabilities

We are working on security certifications for raclette and integrating automated security audits. So you think less about infrastructure and more about your portal.
