Keynote: Target: Delivering Guest Experience through Rapid Technology Innovation
summary
Target commits $7 billion over three years to move from linear supply chains to a smart network, already running small-format pilots that use RFID for item-level fulfillment and claim same-day, hour-or-less inventory pulls. Infrastructure runs OpenStack, Kubernetes and Spinnaker with Kafka and Cassandra, CI/CD pipelines that push immutable images in minutes, and a push to insource engineering (shift from ~70% outsourced) with 50–60 PhDs on data science. Metrics cited: 323,000 team members, 26 million monthly visitors, petabytes of store telemetry, save the sale rollout in two weeks.
