How to make a hot switch in Django between databases when one of them crashes?

Question

Django

Hello!
There is a Django application with database routing - we write to the master, we read from the slave.
Is there an easy way (snippet, package) to read from the master (or other slave) when the slave falls?
PS It is not possible to use balancing at the database level.

Answer 1

There is, it's called django-replicated.
