Description

1. please consider inclusion of cluster connection pool with automatic fail-over, i.e.
https://gist.github.com/Andrei-Pozolotin/f5be7dec56840428c6245a1cef4a25eb

2. the basic idea is to run per-cluster-member connection ping tasks in background
and select next best available connection upon the failure of the current database connection

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing connection-pool behavior in asyncpg and the linked gist describing cluster fail-over. Define how per-cluster-member background pings and selection of the next available connection should work, then verify that failures switch connections reliably without disrupting pool use.
