I want to avoid running an external process (e.g.

Yeah… Running the external process would be my recomendation.

Start::Server + Starlet with 1 or 2 workers for each app is my current
setup for situations just like yours, low memory, low performance
requirements, because it keeps me nimble in terms of upgrades.

You might want to look at uWSGI server though. You could use one single
instance to keep track of all your apps. I don't know if it has on-demand
workers, but if it did, it could solve your entire problem. The problem is
that it is so flexible that it will take some time to find the proper
solution for it, but on the plus side the uWSGI mailing list is **very**
welcome and responsive.

I've been considering them on my stack for quite some time, and it would
solve several problems with a single tool, but haven't found the time. :)

Bye,
