If you have an infra that need to scale so much then Postgresql isn't the right tool indeed. The right tools for your use case probably doesn't even exists and you will have to build one.
It is not a mystery why all webscale companies endup designing their own DB technology.
That being said, most of the DB in the wild are not remotely at those scale. I have seen my share of Postgresql/ElasticSearch combo to handle below TB data and just collapsing because of the overeng of administrating two DB in one app.
