Have you seen nginScript (1)? It's a syntax for embedding snippets of JavaScript in your NGINX configuration. This allows for scripting application logic into standard NGINX config files via a very common and simple language. There's some more details and simple examples at this blog post.

Thanks! This is really great:

    content_by_lua_block {
        ngx.say("hello, world")
    }
