Horizontally scale your Postgres cluster with the [`flyctl machine clone`](https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/machine-clone/) command. Here's an example:
```cmd
fly machine clone e784079b449483 --region ord --app pg-test
```
You can use [`fly machine status`](/docs/flyctl/machine-status/) to confirm the state of the cluster.
