Hi everyone,

Is it possible to increase the amount of diskspace for Postgresql server on [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) without breaking the database?

Yes, if you `fly volume extend` your volumes attached to your postgres cluster, they will increase in size on the next boot. That means you’ll have to restart your instances, ideally one by one, probably failing over to another instance before rebooting any of them.
