AWS Aurora read replica support (using the read only DataSource)

[riteshmaurya]

ebean should automatically direct read request to reader instance of aws aurora cluster and write request to writer instance

developer should have an option of enable/disable using properties file.

Yes. This is really a documentation issue as Ebean already has support for this via configuring a read only DataSource.

// jdbc datasource that uses the aws aurora `-ro` endpoint
DataSource readonlyDataSource = ... 

databaseConfig.setReadonlyDataSource(...)

Ebean will automatically send query requests that are not in a @Transactional and not a for update to the read only DataSource.

Outstanding task:

• Add documentation for this
