Walmart

Retail · Hybrid · Off the LLM map (in-house non-LLM ML)

Walmart’s production architecture is hybrid and multi-cloud: public-cloud workloads run across Azure and Google Cloud, while core infrastructure and brokers remain within Walmart-controlled private cloud environments.[1][2][7][10][15] The platform is heavily event-driven and containerized, with Kafka as a central backbone and WCNP/Kubernetes used for consumer workloads across clouds.[1][4]
