loopback 4 services - how to configure keep-alive agent in lb4 service calls

[vinutha93bnvs]

Greetings,

To enhance the performance of a http requests (http.Agent), npm offers few packages like keepaliveAgent (https://www.npmjs.com/package/agentkeepalive)

This can improve the overall performance for frequent http calls by keep-alive connection and open sockets.

Can someone please guide how to configure KeepAliveAgent while making service calls with loopback 4 services ?

@vinutha93bnvs I am a little bit confused, please clarify. Do you want to enable keep-alive whenever you call other serves from your loopback 4 application or you want to enable other clients to call your loopback 4 application and honor keep-alive: true requests ?

I am trying to optimize the connections on my server. i.e. enable keep-alive whenever you call other serves from my loopback 4 application.
More precisely, I am looking for enabling keep-alive / re-use connections on my Rest-Connector

@vinutha93bnvs do you have the property gracePeriodForClose in your index.ts file ?. If so try to remove it since it should default to infinity.

Check: https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/apidocs.http-server.basehttpoptions.graceperiodforclose.html

@marioestradarosa
I have not configured gracePeriodForClose in my application.
