Retail is Going Reactive!

Today we're excited to announce two new customer success stories, Tomax and Walmart Canada! Both cases support the traction reactive programming has made in the retail and ecommerce space, particularly when paired with Gilt's case study, which we published several months ago. Below is a quick summary of the accounts, we encourage you to read all three case studies to see how Typesafe's technologies are powering a new wave of retail apps!

At Tomax, the Typesafe platform was central to the application infrastructure for Retail.net a solution suite spanning retail activities and servicing more than 100 retail chains with more than 25,000 storefronts and millions of customers and store associates each month. Read the Tomax Case Study

At Walmart Canada, Typesafe enabled a full modernization to an event-driven architecture designed to handle more concurrent processes and users, and a deployment that had zero downtime for the giant's e-commerce store. As a result, Walmart Canada saw a 36% reduction in visitor page load times during a Black Friday that had a corresponding 98% increase in mobile orders and 20% boost in overall web traffic. Read the Wal-Mart Canada Case Study

At Gilt Groupe, the Typesafe Reactive Platform was key to the company's migration from Ruby to Scala, its strategy for distributing peak computational requirements across multicore, and message brokering in its real-time member interaction product, Gilt Live. Read more about The Typesafe Platform at Gilt Groupe.
