You can just stress the cartridge instances using some tool. For example, if you are using Ubuntu as cartridge OS, then you can install a tool called "stress" [1]. You can use this tool to stress memory or CPU. It will increase the memory or CPU usages in the instance. It will lead to scale up. After scale up, just stop the stress tool, it will lead to scale down.
