My god, we are reinventing FastCGI again.

Cloud run can execute multiple requests against the same container at the same time.

With the FaatCGI paradigm, you have to spin up separate process per simultaneous request.

That's how CGI works, but FastCGI has no such restriction, at least not inherently.

Web server implementations may vary, but Apache at least allows sending many concurrent requests to a single FastCGI backend process: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html
