Keep in mind they’re doing real-time logistics and messaging, as well as type-ahead search and managing ads and promotions

I think the real-time logistics is likely the thing taxes a Postgres database.

Everything else seems normal DB CRUD that a single beefy instance with a few replicas should handle easily. Type ahead search is no doubt using a different service and not directly querying Postgres.
