    Lapis

    Lapis

    A web framework for Lua and OpenResty written in MoonScript

    Lapis is a framework for building web applications in Lua (or MoonScript) that primarily targets OpenResty, a high-performance web platform that runs on a customized version of Nginx. Lapis can also be used in other server environments, being compatible with any modern version of Lua. With OpenResty, Lua is run directly inside of the Nginx worker using LuaJIT, giving you the smallest barrier between the webserver and your code. Have a look at Web Framework Benchmarks just to see how OpenResty stacks up against other platforms. Utilizing the power of Lua coroutines, you can write clean code that looks synchronous but can achieve high throughput by automatically running asynchronously without blocking. Networking operations like database queries and HTTP requests will automatically yield to allow for handling concurrent requests, all without all that callback spaghetti seen in other asynchronous platforms.
