How does this differ from OpenResty? They seem very similar. Both are based on Nginx, come from Alibaba, offer Lua scripting. So what's the difference?

OpenResty seems to be a bundle of nginx add-ons, while Tengine is a fork. Also, tengine has DSO loading.

From the page (All features of Nginx-1.2.9 are inherited, i.e. it is 100% compatible with Nginx.)

My guess would be if the scripts are compatible with Ngingx-1.2.9 it should work.

Yeah, it looks like 1.2.9 with a bunch of additional modules! I like the sysguard module.

Wow. I hadn't seen OpenResty before, but I don't think I could bear to fight through that website to get to information.
