Poor performance while using nginx as proxy
Here are some things done to improve performance,
- Convert the traffic between nginx and the upstream server to httpform https
- Use the right ssl ciphers for your nginx. Make sure to runthe ssl test to make sure ciphers used are secure (www.ssllabs.com)
- Increase file descriptor limits for nginx server as well the tomcatinstances to a high number.
Will keep updating as I find more things.
