Hey Pau,

Great work. Some comments below.

I would call this "HTTP server / reverse proxy server forwarding to
wthttp webapp".

Not all reverse proxy software is in fact also a HTTP server (e.g.
HAProxy / squid are only proxy servers), but Apache/NGINX are both.

I would add a nuance here, that this might be an interesting
deployment strategy if you host multiple FastCGI applications, and you
want to restart them independently from each other, and independently
from the web server.
