nginx is turning into much more than just a load balancer. Projects such as OpenResty (a full CMS built into nginx) and Kong (an API management service), are built right into nginx using Lua. We've done some minor nginx Lua extensions and are looking to offload activities such as JSON validation into the front-end nginx.

Unless I've missed something for a while, openresty is more a distribution for building apps / apis or complex middleware on top of nginx, not a full-blown CMS. It's a pre-built collection of useful extensions & lua modules, more of an "app platform"

By JSON validation do you mean just checking if it's well formed or rather something like JSON Schema validation?

The latter seems tricky. It's validation inside the application a bottleneck?

Yes, json validation against schema. Bigger picture, in future we're looking to do some upstream proxy redirects based on payload. Figured the first step is short-circuiting anyone not sending us valid json. Plus, back ends are written in a variety of languages -- not all of whom do json schema validation nicely.

I assume they mean JWT validation.

OpenResty is not a full CMS...
