Lua Scripting
NGINX can be empowered with the scripting power of the Lua language. You don't need to use Openresty for that. With our extensive collection of Lua library packages, you have something even better and in one place.
GetPageSpeed = NGINX Plus + OpenResty + Lua libraries
GetPageSpeed provides both Lua NGINX modules and Lua libraries to extend NGINX with Lua scripting capabilities.
Simply install nginx-module-lua to extend NGINX with Lua scripting capability. And 100 (!) Lua libraries are available with separate easy-to-install packages.
See the whole list below:

Lua
NGINX Lua Module is a high-level Lua API for Nginx. It allows scripting Nginx without touching the C code.
NGINX Extras by GetPageSpeed = NGINX Plus + OpenResty + Lua libraries
GetPageSpeed provides both Lua NGINX modules and Lua libraries to extend NGINX with Lua scripting capabilities.
Multiple Lua library packages are made available by GetPageSpeed to build ultimate Nginx configurations, powered by Lua.
