Django has multiple databases and each database has its own group of applications

Question

I have a group of Django applications need to be placed in its own Postgres database instance

Let say I have app1, app2, app3, app4, app5, app6. And I have multiple database instances for them

DATABASES = { "default": env.db("DATABASE_URL", default="postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/th_life"), "analytic": env.db("ANALYTIC_URL", default="postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/th_life_analytic"), "product": env.db("PRODUCT_URL", default="postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/th_life_product"), "customer": env.db("CUSTOMER_URL", default="postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/th_life_customer"), }

For sake of simplicity I will give an short example default and customer I need app1, app2, and app3 go to customer database instance

class DBRouter(object): def __init__(self): print(f"Customize router") super().__init__() def db_for_read(self, model, **hints): # customer information if model._meta.app_label in ['app1', 'app2', 'app3']: return 'customer' return None def db_for_write(self, model, **hints): if model._meta.app_label in ['app1', 'app2', 'app3']: return 'customer' return None def allow_relation(self, obj1, obj2, **hints): if obj1._meta.app_label in ['app1', 'app2', 'app3'] or \ obj2._meta.app_label in ['app1', 'app2', 'app3']: return True return None def allow_migrate(self, db, app_label, model_name=None, **hints): if app_label in ['app1', 'app2', 'app3']: return db == 'customer' return None

After I tried migrate app1. It is not apply schema to the target database. It goes to default database instance

Question:
What is the correct way to group my applications to particular database instance?
