In today’s fast-paced short-term rental industry, agility, speed, and reliability aren’t just ‘nice to have’, they’re essential. That’s why Resly was built differently from the start.
While many property management platforms have simply adapted old systems to work online, Resly is proudly cloud-native, meaning we were designed from the ground up to thrive in a modern, cloud-first world.
But What Does “Cloud-Native” Actually Mean & Why Should You Care?
Cloud-native is a software development approach that fully embraces the capabilities of cloud computing. It focuses on building applications using modern technologies like:
- Microservices
- Containers
- Continuous delivery
- Automation
These tools enable platforms to be faster, more scalable, resilient, and flexible - ideal for businesses operating in a high-demand and rapidly changing environment like short-term rentals.
In contrast, cloud-based systems typically take older, desktop-based software and adapt it to be accessed over the internet. While this allows for remote access, it often brings limitations, such as clunky performance, slower updates, and legacy code that can hold back innovation.
Why Being Cloud-Native Matters (Especially for You)
Because Resly is cloud-native, we deliver a smarter and more streamlined experience, giving you more time to focus on your business and guests, not on managing systems.
