What size data do y'all start worrying about vertical scaling?

Im surprised at the 500gb table / 10tb db sizes listed.

I start to worry when my db hits 1tb and any single "hot" table is over 100gb.

I know there isnt a one size fits all answer but I'm genuinely curious if I'm just too behind living in lessons learned ~5 years ago and and we are in a better place now.
