Maybe you can use:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/multi-db/#manually-selecting-a-database-for-a-queryset

Entity.objects.using('context1').all()
Entity.objects.using('context2').all()

To select/use a database depending on the request. You can define multiple DBs in the configurartion:

DATABASES = {
    'context1': {
        'NAME': 'context1',
        'ENGINE': 'db.engine.to.use',
        'USER': 'xxx',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxx'
    },
    'context2': {
        'NAME': 'context2',
        'ENGINE': 'db.engine.to.use',
        'USER': 'xxx',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxx'
    }
}
