How big is your database?

Question

Mine is ~5gb in postgres. I thought this was quite high, and looked into advanced methods to try to lower it, but I realised 5gb is a teeny tiny baby, so it had me wondering. How big is your database, what's the BIGGEST you've worked with?

Yeah 5GB is tiny. You could keep your whole database in RAM for fast queries.
I've worked on a system that generates a few hundred GB of data per day that goes into sharded MySQL databases.
Personally, my side business database is a trivial size of less than 1GB. Although I do produce event logs that go into Timescale which is Postgres. That Timescale database is getting up to 100GB but I don't have to manage that myself.
