it is a bit messy: "uwsgi" -> the binary executable "uwsgi" -> the communication protocol "uWSGI" -> the whole project > > 2. Does uwsgi also support the FastCGI protocol? If yes, why should I > use uWSGI instead of FastCGI to run Lua scripts? yes it support FastCGI too, uwsgi (from low-level point of view) is more easy to parse (less logic) but it is more limited. If you do not need strings bigger than 64k it is the most performant way. > > 3.
