I wondered how big websites are handling thousands of visitors daily and how they handle with really big traffic.

I made research and discover that many of them are using Amazon Simple Storage Service, so they must have all pages ganerated as static html as it possible to storage only static files on the S3. Then also update of the website is not difficult (only replacing static files). Is it possible or I am wrong? Any other similar solutions?
