Springs RestTemplate default connection pool

by

Yes, Spring RestTemplateBuilder uses Apache HttpClient for pooling (usage).
RestTemplateBuilder creates HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory and uses HttpClientBuilder.

HttpClientBuilder, by default, sets pool size per route (host) to 5 and total pool size to 10 (source):

s = System.getProperty("http.maxConnections", "5"); 
int max = Integer.parseInt(s); 
poolingmgr.setDefaultMaxPerRoute(max); 
poolingmgr.setMaxTotal(2 * max);

To check connection pool logging set logging level as follows:

org.apache.http.impl.conn.PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager=TRACE
