I love hearing stories from "old" Walmart. I was a Walmartian from 2017 to 2019, and I still miss my co-workers. (Shout-out to the Mobile Client team.)
Some interesting facts to know for those who don't dig into it. Walmart:
- has 80+ internal apps, mostly variants but still unique
- runs k8s inside of Distribution Centers
- maintains a fleet of >180k mobile devices in the US alone
- has a half-dozen data centers in the US
- has most International infrastructure seperate from US Stores'
I've got some stories of my own, maybe I'll post them in a bit.
- Diederich 6y ago> has a half-dozen data centers in the US Wow, that's a hell of a change! When I left in 2009, there were exactly two datacenters: NDC and EDC. Not surprising really. From where I was sitting, the best era was definitely 1997-2004 or so. ISD really went down hill, pretty quickly, in my last five years there, for many different reasons.
