As for the database size consideration, it will most likely be an issue once we start to support queries into the Gaia catalog (about 500GB of data). There are some ways to make it work though.

How are you guys constructing the DB from the catalog? Do you plan to grow it?

For Gaia, it would be impossible (or too expensive) to put the whole catalog into a conventional DB. The solution is probably going to be something similar to OpenDAP (https://www.opendap.org/), but I haven't looked much into it myself.

Any plans on integrating with the Virtual Observatory, or is that too slow to integrate nicely?

One of the goal for the web version is to allow displaying sky observations yes (we are working on it). Not specifically from the VO, but it could as well.
