Web application platform based on Nginx and LuaJIT.

OpenResty provides a server-side platform for building web applications, services and dynamic gateways around Nginx. It bundles LuaJIT, Lua libraries, Nginx modules and supporting dependencies, letting developers script application behavior inside the server. Its event-driven interfaces support nonblocking communication with HTTP clients and backend services such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis and Memcached.
