Kroger, the largest supermarket in the US, is undergoing a technology transformation to address its rapidly changing retail environment, including fast-growing digital channels and a mix of physical stores and e-commerce outlets. To achieve this, Kroger is adopting a microservices-based, hybrid cloud architecture to serve customers now and into the future. The company is leveraging YugabyteDB for its data infrastructure due to its support for both SQL and NoSQL workloads, distributed ACID transactions, geo-distribution capabilities, auto-sharding, and open-source nature with commercial backing. With YugabyteDB, Kroger aims to deliver single-digit millisecond latencies at the data tier and a fault-tolerant design, enabling microservices and digital transformation across its operations.
