I've tested postgres with > 250m rows. It has problems. I've also tested to 1b rows, same issue.
Now throw in some sum, count and group by functions, more issues.
Add a join? Now you've major problems.
Add several joins? Woah there!
I've been able to bring a 5 node citusDB cluster to it's knees. Which the only solution was to scale out massively to double digits servers. But you can't do that on a limited budget.
The caveat here, this was about 2 years ago now. I don't know if there have been any improvements since that time.
I don't have a postgres database now, I've since migrated over to memsql as the majority of my work is OLAP.
