Applications that use thousands of data containers?

What are some applications and domains that use many containers (lists,
maps, arrays, whatever) in one program? Within the science of programming,
hashtables that are implemented using a list container for the buckets which
could then have 1000's of lists (not that that would be a good design
though). But what are some domains and application programs that use many
(hundreds or thousands) of containers do get their job done? (Please note
that I'm not referring to the number of elements in the containers, but
rather containers themselves).
