Lapis – A Lua, Moonscript Framework built on OpenResty

As a sidenote, openresty (nginx+lua) is probably one of the most underrated technologies we have available nowadays. In my experience, every webapp can offload a ton of work(1) to openresty. The lua code is usually much simpler that the equivalent code in the app.

(1) think caching, auth/acl, security filters, some of the stats, some of the logs, etc

+1 At apitools.com we use openresty as well. We chose lua (over javascript) because it's super fast, and because it has good sandboxing/ isolation properties which make it safe to handle arbitrary middleware.
