Can anyone point me to a good primer on how a large scale commercial website like amazon.com is set up? Most importantly, I'd like to know about how the databases are set up. Do they have a distributed set of databases to balance the load, that all sends updates to one 'master' database, etc.? Doesn't have to be the inside dope(although that's preferable), just a plausible account of how smart people would run an amazon.com.
