Description
Author: @dralley (dalley)
Redmine Issue: 7810, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7810
Many users have expressed a desire to be able to fall back to a read-only mode when Pulp is offline, to simplify upgrades. This is currently difficult/impossible, as clients are handled by a "content app" which requires a database connection at all times.
This complicates Pulp's "high availability" story and is in some respects a regression from Pulp 2.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the content app's database-connection requirements and the linked Redmine issue, then compare the behavior with Pulp 2. Done would mean clients can fetch content in a read-only mode while Pulp is not fully online, but the implementation scope needs design clarification.
