• Scriptable Operating Systems with Lua [pdf]

  It's maybe deprecated by the official Nginx support, but there are other projects and organizations that are offering Lua scripting with Nginx with all kinds of extensions and libraries. See OpenResty website[0] and Github repo[1]. [0] - https://openresty.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: The C10M Problem

  Have you seen https://openresty.org/en/ before? To share a quote directly taken from their website: > By taking advantage of various well-designed Nginx modules (most of which are developed by the OpenResty team themselves), OpenResty® effectively turns the nginx server into a powerful web app server, in which the web developers can use the Lua programming language to script various existing nginx C modules and... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Lockbox: forward proxy for making third party API calls

  Nginx is quite extendable, there are tons of nginx plugins to help you add more customizations. There is OpenResty, a version of nginx [0]. It allows you to script all sorts of stuff with Lua inside nginx itself. Tools like lockbox are not necessary, nginx, caddy, etc or heck even a normal 70 line python3 fastapi based script works just fine and should be more extendable than lockbox.

• Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about

  APISIX is an API Gateway. It builds upon OpenResty, a Lua layer built on top of the famous nginx reverse-proxy. APISIX adds abstractions to the mix, e.g., Route, Service, Upstream, and offers a plugin-based architecture. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Apache APISIX plugin priority, a leaky abstraction?

  Apache APISIX is an API Gateway, which builds upon the OpenResty reverse-proxy to offer a plugin-based architecture. The main benefit of such an architecture is that it brings structure to the configuration of routes. It's a help at scale, when managing hundreds or thousands of routes. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

  Adoption, Use Cases, and Comparative Analysis: Projects ranging from community manuals to major software endeavors like the Apache HTTP Server have adopted the GNU FDL 1.2 to preserve the spirit of open documentation. While its copyleft nature ensures that every modification remains free, critics argue that the rigidity of the license may deter commercial integration. This is contrasted with alternative licensing... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Unveiling GNU FDL 1.1: A Deep Dive into Free Documentation Licensing

  GNU FDL 1.1 was created by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) with the intent of bringing the same freedoms found in free software to documentation. Many notable projects, including those under the aegis of the Apache HTTP Server, have benefited from a documentation license that guarantees continued openness and proper attribution. Throughout our exploration, we will delve into the evolution, strengths, and... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
