tl;dr: sqlite.org and fossil-scm.org run using a simple HTTP server via inetd and some parts of the website are CGI scripts. In 2010 they served over a quarter million requests per day on a tiny VPS with only 3% CPU load.

- girvo 13y agoSo I've been curious about this; Nimrod has some SCGI libraries and the like built in, but I didn't know whether that would be good enough for real world usage without building a concurrent application server into my App itself. How does it handle multiple requests at once without impacting performance badly? I know that's a noob question, I struggled to find good information on SCGI/CGI for today's use cases, so I sort of wrote it off as too hard basket...
- mikeash 13y agoI run my entire web site on CGI scripts invoked by Apache. I really don't get the hate for it. It's extremely convenient and works great.
- ajbetteridge 13y agoSame here. And to get the flame bait machine started, we even do it in Perl!
