Asda rebuilds Scan & Go on Azure PaaS and Azure API Management

Organisation

Predecessor

Destination

Workload

Stage
completed
Evidence boundary: Microsoft supports the bounded Scan & Go migration and an API layer handling more than 150,000 requests per minute. It does not turn Asda's wider 700-system separation into one event or prove retirement of every Walmart-era dependency.
