T, AliBaba.com most likely is organised and maintained via a very powerfull CMS (content management system) in order to bring sanity to their operation. For example, take a peek at their web file structure for the Home Appliances category:

There’s no doubt that all data is stored in a relational database (RDBMS) like Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, etc. Now, organising a website’s structure is VERY IMPORTANT. To maintain said structure and to constantly keep it updated by regular users, a CMS is mandatory. I’m sure theirs is home grown for sure.
