So the original advice actually still stands. You can still start off with Posgres, store it in BYTEA columns, and then work on a plan to use an object storage as you grow. S3 may not be possible and you will be evaluating other options like Minio

You know what, I agree...original advice stands. I should have known that the data I was storing would eventually grow larger than reasonable, so in this case it would have been smarter to design it properly from the start. Hindsight.

But there are still plenty of cases I would say BYTEA is perfectly reasonable choice.
