8GB recommended limit can be lifted

[NsrWissam]

Considering the following article by Alibaba: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2019/05/09/performance-optimization-of-etcd-in-web-scale-data-scenario/ And the related merged pull request that solves the size limit bottlenecks https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt/pull/141

I feel like this guide page : https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/dev-guide/limit/ for system limits needs to updated to reflect the changed capabilities.

Contributions are welcomed. Feel free to send a PR.

One more improvement would be confirm how much limit has improved vs 8GB on v3.4, original article mentions 100GB. Would be great to have some official tests.

Hey @serathius @NsrWissam what is the changed capability??? As mentioned, shall I update it to 100GB or wait for some official test???

@Nawaz027 i will make a PR to change the website text already and in the meantime i will start work on testing the limits.

Any news on this?

Will be awesome if the website gets updated. Otherwise, people are mislead that the storage size is rather low.
