- FastCGI is a fast, open, and secure Web server interface that solves the
- performance problems inherent in CGI without introducing any of the new
- problems associated with writing applications to lower-level Web server APIs.
- Modules to support FastCGI can be plugged into Web server APIs such as Apache
- API, NSAPI, and ISAPI. Key considerations in designing FastCGI included
- minimizing the cost of migrating CGI applications (including applications
- written in popular scripting languages such as Perl), supporting both
- single-threaded and multi-threaded application programming, supporting
- distributed configurations for scaling and high availability, and generalizing
- the roles that gateway applications can play beyond CGI's "responder" role.
