Exactly. There is SO much more going on than you realize.
The Amazon retail website gets hundreds of thousands of orders every second. New code gets deployed literally every night.
The retail website is like the tip of an iceberg floating above the water. There are hundreds of web services underneath that provide the backend and data stores. Each one of those services has a team of engineers to maintain the service with one engineer oncall 24/7.
