Six practices. Every engagement scoped to what you actually need.
Work with Pacific Solutions in whichever shape suits your problem: a single advisory session, a fixed-scope project, or an ongoing retainer. See indicative pricing for each practice on the pricing page.
Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture
Design and operate infrastructure that scales with the business instead of against it — whether you're leaving a data center or optimizing an existing multi-cloud footprint.
Discuss this practiceCloud Migration & Strategy
Moving legacy workloads to AWS, GCP or Azure via rehosting, refactoring, or full re-architecting — matched to your risk tolerance and timeline.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Automating environment provisioning with Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible or CloudFormation, so environments are reproducible and reviewable.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Design
Unified operations across private data centers and multiple public cloud providers, with a single control plane for networking and identity.
Cloud Cost Optimization (FinOps)
Analyzing resource utilization, rightsizing instances, and establishing governance to cut cloud spend without cutting capability.
DevOps & Platform Engineering
Turn delivery into a repeatable, self-service process — so shipping software stops depending on one person's memory.
Discuss this practiceCI/CD Automation
Designing continuous integration and delivery pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) that automate testing and release cycles.
Containerization & Orchestration
Packaging applications into Docker containers and running scalable clusters with Kubernetes, ECS, or OpenShift.
Internal Developer Platforms (IDP)
Building self-service tools and portals so developers can provision environments without filing operations tickets.
Custom Software Engineering & Modernization
Software that matches how the business actually works today — not the assumptions it was built on five years ago.
Discuss this practiceLegacy Application Modernization
Breaking monolithic software into microservices or serverless architectures, incrementally and without a "big bang" rewrite.
Custom Software Development
Designing and building full-stack applications, APIs, and backend microservices tailored to specific business needs.
Software Architecture Reviews
Assessing existing codebases, design patterns, and database models for performance, maintainability, and scalability bottlenecks.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) & Observability
See problems before your customers do, and recover faster when something still slips through.
Discuss this practiceMonitoring & Metrics
Implementing Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/OpenSearch to track system health in real time.
Incident Management & SLA Design
Establishing automated alerting, runbooks, and incident response frameworks to reduce Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).
Performance Tuning & Load Testing
Benchmarking infrastructure limits under heavy traffic and eliminating database or network latency.
Security, Compliance & Governance (DevSecOps)
Compliance treated as an architecture decision, not a document you write once a year.
Discuss this practiceInfrastructure Audits & Hardening
Scanning environments for misconfigurations, exposed endpoints, and compliance gaps.
Regulatory Compliance Readiness
Structuring infrastructure to meet frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR.
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Setting up least-privilege policies, Zero Trust networking, and central identity management.
Strategic Technology Consulting
Independent, vendor-neutral advisory for decisions that are expensive to get wrong — delivered separately from any build work if you prefer a second opinion only.
Discuss this practiceTechnical Due Diligence
Evaluating a target company's software stack, codebase quality, and infrastructure risk for M&A or venture funding.
Technology Roadmap & Vendor Evaluation
Recommending tech stacks, database engines, or third-party platforms based on long-term goals, not vendor incentives.
