As far as I know Django apps can't start if any of the databases set in the settings.py are down at the start of the application. Is there anyway to make Django "lazyload" the initial database connection?
I have two databases configured and one of them is a little unstable and sometimes it can be down for some seconds, but it's only used for some specific use cases of the application. As you can imagine I don't want that all the application can't start because of that. Is there any solution for that?
I'm using Django 1.6.11, and we also use Django South for database migrations (in case that it's related somehow).
