+# SQLAlchemy ORM Support
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> SQLAlchemy ORM support is currently only available for **MySQL databases**.
+
+The AWS Advanced Python Wrapper provides a custom SQLAlchemy database backend that enables SQLAlchemy applications to leverage AWS and Aurora functionalities such as failover handling and IAM authentication.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- SQLAlchemy 2.0.0+
+
+## Basic Configuration
+
+To use the AWS Advanced Python Wrapper with SQLAlchemy, call the `create_engine` function with your database URL with the configuration settings appended:
+
+```python
+from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+
+create_engine("mysql+aws_wrapper_mysqlconnector://your_username:your_password@your-cluster-endpoint.cluster-xyz.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:your_port/your_database_name?connect_timeout=10&wrapper_plugins=aurora_connection_tracker%2Cfailover_v2")
+```
+
+See [the SQLALchemy official documentation](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/engines.html) for more information on engine configuration.
+
+### Supported Engines
+
+| Driver | Database Dialect |
+|-------------------|------------------|
+| `aws_wrapper_mysqlconnector` | `mysql` |
+
+## Using Plugins with SQLAlchemy
+
+The AWS Advanced Python Wrapper supports a variety of plugins that enhance your SQLAlchemy application with features like failover handling, IAM authentication, and more. Most plugins can be enabled simply by adding them to the `wrapper_plugins` parameter in your database URL.
+
+For a complete list of available plugins, see the [List of Available Plugins](./UsingThePythonWrapper.md#list-of-available-plugins) in the main driver documentation.
+
+
+### Failover Plugin
+
+The Failover Plugin provides automatic failover handling for Aurora clusters. When a database instance becomes unavailable, the plugin automatically connects to a healthy instance in the cluster.
+
+#### Handling Failover Events
+
+During a failover event, the driver will throw a `DBAPIError` exception after successfully connecting to a new instance. Your application should catch this exception, check which type of failover error occurred, and retry the failed query:
+
+```python
+from aws_advanced_python_wrapper.errors import FailoverSuccessError
+
+def execute_query_with_failover_handling(query_func):
+    try:
+        return query_func()
+    except DBAPIError as dbapi_err:
+        err = dbapi_err.orig
+        if isinstance(err, FailoverSuccessError):
+            # Failover successful, retry the query
+            return query_func()
+```
+
+For a complete example, see [MySQLSQLAlchemyFailover.py](../examples/MySQLSQLAlchemyFailover.py).
+
+For more information about the Failover Plugin, see the [Failover Plugin documentation](./using-plugins/UsingTheFailoverPlugin.md).
+
+### Read/Write Splitting
+
+The Read/Write Splitting Plugin is not supported for SQLAlchemy, since session binds already implement this functionality.
+
+See the [official SQLAlchemy documentation on the Session API](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/orm/session_api.html) for more information on session binds.
