Agreed. I have a handful of tables with over 2 billion rows and have experienced no issues. One database is 2.5TB in size. I feel like 20 million rows is a relatively small MySQL table.

What types of data with over two billion rows?

It's related to user activity, along the lines of products a user views. The other large tables in the billions of rows are about analyzing how products are performing on other websites over time to view historical data along with past and current trends.

We have two tables at nearly 2 billion rows for line items on invoices (we aggregate data for a substantial portion of a major industry). We have ~20 tables that are over 100 million rows but less than 1 billion. Looks like another ~20 tables over 20 million.

To get this info on your own mysql db: `select * from information_schema.TABLES;`. As previously disclaimed, the TABLE_ROWS here are an estimate generally, see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-infoschema-excerpt/5.7/en/in...

Could you provide some details, like MySQL version, IOPS and read/write performance?

Nice! We're at 9TB... I agree that 20M is small enough that I'm not concerned about performance at all.
