CppCMS provides its own thread pool and process pool. That allows tighter
integration between threads/processes for stuff like sharing cache
and sessions.

No, it is not mandatory, and of course you can easily do vertical scaling.

However you need to use cppcms_scale services for sharing cache that would
be shared using network across different nodes.

Same for session management. Of course if you use, for example,
shared file system, client side session storage or database for session
storage you don't need cppcms_scale.

So as long as you don't scale to multiple network nodes it is better
to use CppCMS with its own process and thread pool rather than 

letting lighttpd to handle it for you.
