I can speak for how Bing Maps was storing their data before being bought by Uber. They had a single massive bespoke compute site for batch processing. I want to say it was 64k cores and multiple PBs. There was a flood in Colorado one summer and it knocked the imagery site out for a day or two. Uber purchased that site along w/ ~100 engineers. I had left about 6 months before that purchase happened.
