Overview
The Challenge
Anyspaces had operated as a commercial rental marketplace for six years. The original platform had been built incrementally, accumulating technical debt across multiple technology stacks. Performance was degrading, the codebase was increasingly difficult to maintain, and the user experience no longer reflected the ambition of the business.
Think of it as Airbnb for commercial spaces -- warehouses, offices, co-working desks, event venues, retail pop-ups. The platform connects landlords with tenants through search, listing, booking, and payment workflows. But after six years of patches, the architecture could no longer support the features the team needed to compete.
The brief was bold: tear it down and rebuild from scratch. A complete relaunch with a modern tech stack, clean architecture, and a design that could scale to support thousands of active listings across Australia.
Solution
What We Built
We assembled a team of eight and executed a full-stack rebuild over ten months. The platform runs on NestJS microservices deployed to AWS Fargate via Copilot, with PostgreSQL handling the complex relational data model of spaces, availability, pricing tiers, and booking workflows.
The Angular frontend was designed for two distinct user journeys: landlords listing and managing their spaces, and tenants searching, comparing, and booking them. Advanced search with map-based discovery, calendar-driven availability, and instant quoting were all built from the ground up.
Stripe powers the full payment lifecycle -- from initial booking deposits to recurring rent collection, with automated invoicing synced to Xero for landlord accounting. Serverless functions handle background jobs like notification dispatch, search indexing, and analytics aggregation.
