on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Home Depot migrates store devices from Windows Mobile/C# thick clients to Android Zebra hardware running HTML5/JS via Apache Cordova with Node.js and Angular 2 (moving toward React), centralizes services on Pivotal Cloud Foundry, and builds an application redirector plus a user profile single‑sign‑on service. Deployments shrink from 6 weeks to 2 days, supporting ~20–30 store apps across 2,000 stores and 400,000 associates. Caching, CDN and offline resilience remain work in progress.
