Best Buy is North America’s top specialty retailer of consumer electronics, personal computers, entertainment software, and appliances. Riak has been an integral part in the transformation push to re-platform Best Buy’s eCommerce platform. Riak’s architecture has helped Best Buy build and operate its new platform with Riak playing a key role.
At our developer conference, Ricon, we were lucky to have Joel Crabb, Director of Web Architecture at BestBuy.com, talk about how Riak fits into their pattern of innovation and moving from a traditional relational architecture.
