OpenResty
OpenResty is a web platform built atop nginx, embedded using its Lua module. It embeds LuaJIT, allowing for dynamic reconfiguration of the application server without having to completely reload the configuration (via SIGHUP). It is well suited to highly-concurrent workloads, following a synchronously non-blocking I/O model built on nginx events that uses light threads and semaphores to emulate concurrency within a single OS thread.
