Announcing luafcgid release 1.0 - a statefull FastCGI server for Lua
https://github.com/STPeters/luafcgid
luafcgid is a trivially multithreaded FastCGI server that is written to
run under BSD/Linux/MacOSX and Windows (using MinGW and pthreads32). It
manages a number of independent, persistent Lua states, that are then
loaded with Lua scripts from the file system. These scripts are
loaded/initialized on demand, and held in memory for as long as
possible. The Lua scripts are provided basic CGI access with a thin
abstraction - resulting in an extremely fast, streamlined and
lightweight platform from which to run web-centric apps and frameworks
in Lua.
Some current uses are: a transactional CGI gateway, AJAX backend, and
interactive database-driven websites. It has been tested with nginx 1.x
and Apache 2.x, and should work with any FastCGI compliant web server.
