'''mod_ruby''' is a module that [[wiktionary:embed|embeds]] the [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]] [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] into the [[Apache web server]] to allow Ruby code to execute natively, faster than other [[Common Gateway Interface|CGI]] methods. Its drawback is that the characteristic sharing of classes among Apache processes is not safe for multiple applications<ref>{{deadlink|date=December 2013}}[http://modruby.net/en/doc/?FAQ#Is+it+secure%3F mod_ruby Wiki] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110808224736/http://www.modruby.net/en/doc/?FAQ#Is+it+secure%3F |date=2011-08-08 }}, explaining the security problem of mod_ruby.</ref> (e.g., multiple [[Ruby on Rails]] applications running simultaneously).

There is also the similar [https://github.com/matsumoto-r/mod_mruby mod_mruby] for [[mruby]], a lightweight Ruby implementation.

As of at least 2015, the project seems to no longer be under active development.
