mod_fcgid

https://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/

mod_fcgid is a high performance alternative to mod_cgi or mod_cgid, which starts a sufficient number instances of the CGI program to handle concurrent requests, and these programs remain running to handle further incoming requests.

fcgi library

The key piece of initial state in a FastCGI process is a listening socket, through which it accepts connections from a Web server. A FastCGI application calls accept() on the socket referred to by file descriptor FCGI_LISTENSOCK_FILENO to accept a new transport connection.
