Walmart struggled with website reliability and scalability during peak shopping periods like Black Friday. To address this, Walmart replatformed using microservices and cloud native principles. This enabled nearly 100% availability, the ability to handle over 1.5 billion daily requests during peak periods, and over 1,000 code deployments daily. The new architecture improved agility, scalability, and allowed Walmart to better compete in e-commerce against companies like Amazon.
