  • We’re on Hetzner too, using multiple 10TB volumes joined with ZFS. Total size right now is around 45TB, mostly cold data. For hot tables we keep them on NVMe (~20TB). It’s not perfect, but works fine so far.
  • At ~35TB Postgres we ended up separating pg_wal onto its own volume first — write amplification there was quietly eating 20–30% of our NVMe throughput before we caught it.
