So say amazon starts receiving transactions to millions of different addresses. How would they deal with that? I have a feeling they wont be using bitcoind. Would it be complex to implement a system that could handle millions of addresses?

If you run Bitcoin Core, make sure you upgrade to 0.16.3 ASAP.

They probably won't any time soon, but I'm interested how a large-ass service would work with bitcoin's technology and keep up.

Yeah good point. A lot of people will be watching what happens there. Whether it works technically well, what the volume is. Shame we have to wait so long, but I guess its good they aren't just "rushing in". Its too important a test case for them to balls it up.

Overstock already announced they will use a bitcoin payment service provider (like Coinbase or BitPay).

I am not sure, big companies like amazon accept first in case, since they have their own payment system. Bitcoin has no refund, so in case any disputes, it is hard for them to manage, so I think no.

Same as they handle their traffic load -- load distribution.  They wouldn't have just one wallet that stores 1 billion+ addresses, same as they don't have one server that handles all their traffic.  They'd distribute the load amongst many wallets, which then feed into their OLTP databases.
