Startup Spotlight: Plural Is Rebuilding the Infrastructure Backbone of Retail & CPG

Excited to share a Startup Spotlight on Plural, a company in our Microsoft for Startups Pegasus portfolio tackling one of the toughest infrastructure problems in retail: keeping Kubernetes clusters healthy across thousands of stores, from the cloud to the edge. The results from one national retailer's deployment stood out to me: fleet-wide upgrades that used to take six months now take two weeks, incident remediation twelve times faster, and a small platform team now supporting twice the store footprint without adding headcount. For any retailer or CPG brand running physical infrastructure at scale, this is worth a read.
