what is the current maximum ball park amount of data one can realistically handle on a single machine setup on AWS / GCP / Azure?

realistically means keeping in mind that the processing itself also requires memory as well as prerequisites like indexes which also need to be kept in memory.

maximum memory at AWS would be 1.5TB using r8g.metal-48xl. so, assuming 50% usable for the raw data means about 750GB are realistic.
