Description
I have a FastAPI based application for which I am using the Django ORM to access the databases. And Im using the starlette-config dependency to manage the request context including the database details which will be part of the request.
I am currently updating the django.db.connections.databases object on the fly in a FastAPI middleware as detailed here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28891429/2324527
After this, Im using a custom database router to select the newly added database for performing the database operation. Is this method feasible for production?
If so, do we have a more streamlined approach that could be introduced so that django supports dynamic database switching on the fly?

Creating a new database connection or modifying an existing one on fly is not supported.
