Is it possible to use persistent connections (HTTP keep alive) in React Native?

[mikescott]

Hi,

My backend has HTTP2, HTTP3, and therefore keep alive, enabled. Browsers making API requests complete the request 100 to 150ms faster than my React Native app, and I believe that's because the app establishes a new TLS connection for every request, unlike in the browser where it seems to be reuisng an existing connection.

Is there any way to make Axios re-use connections in React Native?

I've seen an example where that can be done inside node.js, but not RN.
