We’ve been experimenting with the Lua module at work recently and have come away impressed. The real power lays in the ngx module available to your lua scripts. You can make non-blocking (but synchronous) requests inside your scripts to other location blocks inside your nginx configuration.
I had no idea you could embed lua in nginx… interesting.
I have played with it a little. I was impressed by the concept, but I can’t say I made anything interesting worth sharing.
