I have embedded lua in Spring Boot webapps where I required an external rules files which could be easy to read for business folks.

Example: Specialised handling for different customer types and you don't want to manage all the rules in the RDBMS but would rather run a separate script for each customer type and have this script in a plain text format and version managed using Git.

Sounds very interesting! Any chance this is open source? If not, can you give a bit of additional information on how you did this (including project structure, some insight in the lua code, etc)?

Unfortunately, no. This was done for a client and is proprietary.
