For various reasons I have Tomcat behind Apache HTTPD via mod_proxy_ajp, and I'm looking for good ways to think about the proxy connection pool. I'm wondering if I should let HTTPD make as many connections as it wants, or set a maximum pool size and let requests wait in the proxy. This is probably a complex issue and I want to be sure I'm considering the right aspects.
I think I do want persistent proxy connections. This seems to work well and it saves setup/teardown work. So I have "ProxyPass...enablereuse=on" (which I think is default, but I hate relying on defaults for things I care about). Tomcat v9.0.90, HTTPD 2.4.62. There are no obvious problems at the moment. I just want to be sure I'm doing all I can to keep this back-end service from ever being a bottleneck for a rather heavy Angular Universal front-end that has throughput issues of its own, while I (and many others) ponder how to fix *those* issues. -- Mark H.
