The maximum size of a database in PostgreSQL is theoretically very large — up to several terabytes and even petabytes, mainly limited by server resources and the filesystem.
In my last project, the database size reached about 500 GB. It is important to consider:
- The size of individual tables and indexes
- Query and index optimization for handling large volumes of data
- Using partitioning to manage large tables
PostgreSQL scales well and supports large databases when properly configured and architected.
