The production databases on the project I build and support around are around 100GB in size - tiny. But if they didn't work correctly - ambulances wouldn't arrive at the correct location on time, nor fire engines nor emergency services workers. Covering an area of 1.25 million square kilometres, supporting 40,000 first responders helping to protect 8 million people. Of course the databases are not the only important part of an emergency services network such as ours, but they are a critical component. I would rather work on a project like this any day than working to prop up some faceless advertising/data collection behemoth such as Facebook or Google.
