Hello as seen by the documentation of Django you can run multiple databases but you need to re-write most of your Serializers/Views depending on the models you need to retrive/write/delete.
Here is the link of the documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/db/multi-db/
>>> # This will run on the 'default' database.
>>> Author.objects.all()
>>> # So will this.
>>> Author.objects.using('default').all()
>>> # This will run on the 'replica1' database.
>>> Author.objects.using('replica1').all()
DATABASES = {
'default': {},
'auth_db': {
'NAME': 'auth_db_name',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'USER': 'mysql_user',
'PASSWORD': 'swordfish',
},
'primary': {
'NAME': 'primary_name',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'USER': 'mysql_user',
'PASSWORD': 'spam',
},
'replica1': {
'NAME': 'replica1_name',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'USER': 'mysql_user',
'PASSWORD': 'eggs',
},
'replica2': {
'NAME': 'replica2_name',
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'USER': 'mysql_user',
'PASSWORD': 'bacon',
},
}
