What sort of backend storage does this use?

Given that it's effectively key->key->value, I'm guessing Cassandra for the main backend. The data model fits very well, and it would give you the kind of scalability you would need for this sort of thing.

Given how ridiculously basic the website is, I think you're right. It should have been a real triplestore with a SPARQL endpoint though.

I browsed the website, but couldn't grasp what is the main value of that product or how could it be useful for the showcased website. Could you please educate me a bit?

Yes, it would be interesting to get some insight into the tech stack.
