The Artifactory 7 System Architecture provides us a flexible way to modify the flow a request will be processed by the Artifactory services.
You can benefit from an improved performance by bypassing the Router service for API requests to Artifactory.
This can be achieved using a Reverse Proxy such as NGINX or Apache HTTPD.
By having a reverse proxy to redirect requests from $JFROG_URL/artifactory directly to $ARTIFACTORY_NODE:8081/artifactory, you will bypass the Router service.
When under high load this can help to better distribute the requests in advance.
