Ask HN: How big is your database?
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?

- leros 4y agoYeah 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.
