Why do you say that? Because you think you will need to handle as much requests as they do but always with upto date information? AFAIK, most of e-commerce site requests are content publishing of front store pages. Most of that can be handled with no real time database access either with static pages or cached content. Unless you are going to sell 30 million items like Amazon did in X-Mas, you won't need great hardware for that. Anyway, for busy sites is always a good idea to avoid read only database accesses or else your site will not scale. Besides content caching, it is always important to avoid database accesses for simple but repetitive things like session authentication.
