A:
Amazon has simpleDB, at least for a programming API
And this is from a Job Description
Design, develop, implement, test, document and deliver scalable, reliable, multi-tiered, distributed software applications, tools, systems and services using C++, Java, distributed programming, and Object Oriented design. Assist in gathering and analyzing business and functional requirements, and translate requirements into technical specifications for robust, scalable, supportable solutions that work well within the overall system architecture. Serve as a key technical resource in the full development cycle, end-to-end, from conception, design, implementation and testing to documentation, delivery and maintenance. Conduct performance analysis and optimization on large-scale distributed systems. Produce comprehensive, usable software documentation. Recommend changes in development, maintenance and system standards. Own delivery of entire piece of system or application, and serve as technical lead on complex projects using best practice engineering standards. Mentor junior development engineers.
So Amazone uses C, Java and probably some .NET aswell.
The databases however I don't know.
