Engineering services for systems that already have a job
Each service page explains the problem space, who it is for, how we work, and which tools and articles sit beside it. We do not offer every technology under the sun — only work we can reliably design, deliver, and support in production.

How Palmate Solutions delivers client software
Every engagement adheres to our core operational standards to protect client data, maintainability, and investment:
Full Code Ownership
All source code, Docker configs, and IaC are directly committed to your private repositories from sprint zero.
Production Resilience
We build systems with automated retry queues, offsite backups, and strict security baselines to prevent outages.
Predictable Delivery
Milestones are mapped to working software pushed to test environments, not abstract status slide decks.
Direct Engineering Access
You collaborate directly with principal architects and software engineers without non-technical account intermediaries.
Services FAQ
Frequently asked questions about our services
Common questions regarding our engagement models, technical standards, and delivery processes.
How do you scope and price your engineering services?↓
We begin with a thorough technical discovery sprint to analyze data flows, integration APIs, and deployment infrastructure. Following discovery, we provide fixed-scope milestones for predictable deliverables or agile retainers for ongoing operational management.
Can you take over and maintain an existing legacy codebase?↓
Yes. We conduct a preliminary architecture and security audit to evaluate code quality, test coverage, and infrastructure health. We then implement automated CI/CD pipelines, containerize dependencies with Docker, and refactor brittle components incrementally.
What happens after our software is deployed to production?↓
We provide post-launch operational support, including real-time uptime monitoring, automated database backups, security patching, and comprehensive documentation runbooks to ensure your team maintains full control.
Do you build integrations with proprietary or legacy ERP systems?↓
Yes. We specialize in architecting reliable REST and webhook middleware connecting modern web frontends with legacy databases, custom accounting systems, and external vendor marketplaces.
