An article on how Alibaba subsidiaries are using a backend stack based on Spring: https://spring.io/blog/2013/03/04/spring-at-china-scale-alibaba-group-alipay-taobao-and-tmall/ https://spring.io/blog/2013/03/04/spring-at-china-scale-alib... The article is a little dated though, and some of the links to their open source repositories don't work anymore (maybe this is because is because they moved to GitHub [2]). I assume it's the language barrier, but for such a huge company I could find surprisingly little information on their technology or infrastructure. If anyone has any more current information, I'm sure quite a few of us would be interested to hear about running software at that scale.
