Apache creates a new Thread for each request or more accurately, it re-uses a Thread from a pool of Threads but Node.js is essentially a single Thread. Would there be any complication in running a Node.js web app behind an Apache webserver? For example, can I have the following configuration?
http://mywebsite.com/wordpress <-- mod_php
http://mywebsite.com/bugzilla <-- mod_perl
http://mywebsite.com <-- points to the Node.js app
Is there any officially supported Apache plugin for Node.js?
What is the best way to implement this topology?
You could set it up that way. You could use mod_proxy to reverse proxy the requests destined for Node.js. It would work, but if you're looking for a better option, I would suggest running Nginx on the front and reverse proxy your requests to a backend Apache for /wordpress and /bugzilla routes and then reverse proxy all other requests to the backend Node.js.
