Knit
Lightweight game framework for Roblox
Lightweight game framework for Roblox. A lightweight framework that simplifies communication between core parts of your Roblox experience and seamlessly bridges the gap between the server and the client. Services and controllers are the core of Knit. These objects provide a foundation for Roblox experiences. By orienting core game logic around services and controllers, developers will inherit cleaner organization across codebases and easier maintainability. Services and controllers are easy to create, and provide a built-in networking layer. Knit automatically provides networking between the client and services. Since Knit handles the networking infrastructure, developers are not left with the burden of manually creating RemoteEvent and RemoteFunction objects throughout the hierarchy. Each service has the ability to expose specific endpoints to the client through declarative code. -

json.lua
A lightweight JSON library for Lua
json.lua is a lightweight JSON library for Lua that provides straightforward encoding and decoding without requiring a large external package. It is designed to be dropped into an existing project as a single Lua file, then required directly from application code. The library exposes a simple API for turning Lua values into JSON strings and parsing JSON strings back into Lua values. Its small size makes it practical for games, plugins, scripts, embedded Lua environments, and projects where dependency weight matters. It is implemented in pure Lua and is known for being fast among pure Lua JSON options while still offering useful error messages. Overall, it is a convenient choice when a Lua project needs dependable JSON support with minimal setup. -

LuaLinq
Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua
Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua. For the latest version of this project, refer to http://code.google.com/p/lualinq/ Sorry for that. The syntax is very similar to LINQ and reminds of SQL, for those who already know those languages. It’s released with a BSD 3 clause license. It uses a very basic subset of Lua, which allows it to be used also in very restrictive embedding scenarios (e.g. videogames). The focus on data instead of processing makes it suitable for all those scripts where querying the hosting application entities is paramount: RPG videogames, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. -

lxgui
A Lua and XML Graphical User Interface
Note: this project has been migrated to github: https://github.com/cschreib/lxgui lxgui is an open source, portable, and data driven GUI. It is fully extensible, and supports caching through render targets. It is meant to be used by real time applications (such as games). The GUI can be created either by C++ code, or by using the integrated "add-on" system, where the GUI is parsed from XML and Lua files. It relies on keyboard and mouse input (support for other controllers is not planned). Front ends are provided for OpenGL (for graphics), and OIS and SFML (for input). An SFML graphics front end is in project. Documentation : http://lxgui.sourceforge.net/docs -

CDN Up and Running
CDN Up and Running - Building a CDN from Scratch to Learn about CDN
CDN Up and Running is an educational project that demonstrates how content delivery networks work by guiding users through building one from scratch using real-world tools and infrastructure components. The repository combines theoretical explanations with hands-on implementation, allowing developers to understand both the concepts and practical challenges of CDN design. It starts with a simple backend service and progressively evolves into a distributed, multi-node system capable of handling caching, routing, and traffic distribution. The project uses technologies such as Nginx, Lua, Docker, Prometheus, and Grafana to simulate realistic CDN environments and monitoring systems. It also explores performance considerations, including latency simulation, load balancing, and scalability. By integrating observability tools, it enables users to analyze system behavior and performance metrics.
