I was working with a proprietary Radius system a while ago that used PG for it's database backend. That system had been around for many years and had (smaller) national telcos/ISPs as customers.
When people's internet routers turn on and authenticate to their ISP, this is the kind of system it talks too.
The steady state load for this system just over 300k transactions per second (24/7), sometimes peaking to over double that during busy times.
The most memorable problem was pgBadger (reporting tool) often running out of memory on 256GB (ram) nodes because perl seems to have extremely poor (non-existent?) garbage collection. :(
