Hello,
Is there any way for a single app to use more than 500GB of storage?
So far I found that you can attach only one volume to a single VM and maximum size is 500GB. Is there any workaround?

Depends on what you’re wanting to store and how you want to access it.

Generally if you’re wanting to store user uploaded files, the recommendation would be to use object storage such as Tigris.

You can use rclone and mount a cloud drive (backed up by AWS S3 or any other supported storage provider). In this way, you get a reliable bottomless storage for cheap without vendor lock-in. It is not exactly the same as a locally mounted disk, but this approach works very well for many tasks.
