Last week Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba shocked the web with news that its subsidiaries Taobao (like a Chinese eBay) and T-mall (like Amazon) sold a massive $3.06 billion in product in a single 24-hour period.

Wow. Just wow.

Just the infrastructure to handle that sheer volume of transactions is quite impressive.
