Hello
Sling as an application server should work well behind an httpd web-server
acting as a firewall, proxy and cache layer. Given Sling and Httpd are both
Apache projects for the web, it seems they are pieces in the same stack.
But I'm having trouble finding documentation other than Adobe's
mod_dispatcher (which is not OSS afaik). Can anyone recommend resources or
advice for configuring httpd to work with Sling?
Thanks!

This is excellent. Thanks for the support!

For the reference CMS app I put together a vagrant script with Apache httpd
proxying and caching content from Apache Sling using mod_proxy and
mod_cache. You can find it here:

Are you using sling standalone which has an embedded jetty servlet
container inside it?  If so, then think the general approach for putting a
httpd server in front of a jetty based server would be to use mod_proxy as
a reverse proxy.  You should be able to do a web search for "jetty
mod_proxy" to see some examples of how that configuration would look in
httpd.

However, I suspect there may be some limitations (or additional
configuration) if you are intend to use some newer technologies like http/2
or websocket with another web server sitting between the client and
sling/jetty.
