At Fortress OS, we built our property management software on a cloud-native foundation using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and CloudFormation. This decision wasn’t just about hosting our software online. It was about designing a system that fully leverages the power of the cloud from day one.
That foundation gives our customers a real advantage in speed, cost, and agility.
Traditional, on-premise systems depend on a single, powerful server. When your business grows, you have to upgrade the hardware, buy more servers, and manually configure everything.
A cloud-native system works differently. Instead of relying on one large server, we use many smaller ones that work together. As your portfolio grows, our system automatically adds more capacity to handle the demand. This horizontal scaling happens seamlessly in the background so your software performance never slows down.
The result is simple: your operations stay fast, stable, and cost-effective, no matter how quickly you grow.
Our cloud-native design is about more than performance. It is a smarter way to manage resources.
Cost Efficiency: You pay only for the computing power you use. When things slow down, our system scales back to save costs. When demand increases, it scales up instantly. This flexibility means you are never overpaying for hardware you do not need.
Faster Innovation: Because our infrastructure is defined as code through CloudFormation, we can test, update, and deploy new features in minutes. That means we can deliver improvements to you and your residents faster than anyone relying on outdated systems.
One of the biggest advantages of our cloud-native approach is that we treat infrastructure like software. With CloudFormation, we can create an entirely new environment or replicate an existing one with a single command.
That agility allows us to:
Legacy systems still depend on manual setup and hardware configuration. That slows everything down and introduces human error. With Fortress OS, setup happens in minutes, not days.
Older property management software often requires big upfront costs for servers, storage, and IT staff. With Fortress OS, those expenses disappear.
By running on AWS, we manage the hardware and infrastructure for you. There is no need to buy or maintain servers or hire a large IT team to oversee them. That shift lets you focus your time and resources where they belong: on your properties and residents.
At Fortress OS, we believe the right foundation changes everything. By building on the cloud instead of around it, we give affordable housing providers the scalability, reliability, and speed they need to grow without limits.
Because the technology behind your software is not just a technical detail. It is the backbone of your business’s future.
