Digital sovereignty without compromises
In modern platform development, digital sovereignty is crucial. But what does this mean concretely for your platform or portal?
Digital sovereignty means: You retain control over your digital infrastructure — without dependencies on proprietary providers. Especially with critical portals, risks arise:
- Data sovereignty: Who controls your sensitive data?
- License dependencies: What happens with price increases?
- Cost explosions: Vendor lock-ins lead to monopoly prices
- Technology lock: Trapped in proprietary systems
Open Source platform development is the answer.
With transparent source code you retain full control over your platform. No black boxes, no hidden functions, no surprises.
Pacifico consistently relies on Open Source: Our solutions are transparent, community-tested and free from vendor lock-ins. Every platform is based on our Open Source Framework raclette.
Why Open Source platforms are superior
- Independence: No license fees, no vendor control
- Transparency: Complete insight into source code
- Security: Community review finds vulnerabilities faster
- Sustainability: Platform continues to run, even without provider
- Flexibility: Modifications possible at any time
- Cost control: No unexpected license costs
A strong Open Source ecosystem is our goal. Through a growing developer community, raclette remains usable long-term — even without Pacifico.
Open Source advantages for platforms vs. portals
Depending on your project's focus, Open Source offers different advantages:
Open Source Platforms
- API transparency for integrations
- Customizable business logic without limits
- Community modules for standard features
- Scaling without license limitations
Open Source Portals
- UI customizations without restrictions
- Custom workflows without vendor boundaries
- Secure authentication without black boxes
- Accessibility according to own standards
raclette: The Open Source Framework of the future
What we build with raclette should advance the entire community. Every platform we develop makes the framework better.
Your individual solution becomes a building block for others: Modules we develop for you flow back into the framework. So everyone benefits from better, tested solutions.
raclette is officially available as Open Source and continues to be in constant development and receives new features. We develop your platform on this future-proof foundation. Learn more technical details about the framework!
