You could cache upstream connections. See for details:

> **[Module ngx\_http\_upstream\_module](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#keepalive)**

> The ngx\_http\_upstream\_module module is used to define groups of servers that can be referenced by the proxy\_pass, fastcgi\_pass, uwsgi\_pass, scgi\_pass, memcached\_pass, and grpc\_pass directives.
