  • I’m a big fan of lapis. It’s built on openresty, a fork of nginx that embeds luajit into it. This means you can make use of all the features nginx has in your application. It’s really fast in my experience.

    I have a medium-ish project written in lapis here: https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram

    There isn’t really much of an ecosystem around lua, lapis is really the only “proper” framework. There is stuff like redbean and mako which are cool, but not as complete/friendly to use as lapis imo.
    Luarocks can be a bit of a pain as well (make sure to install packages for lua 5.1).

    Lapis is made by the same person who made itch.io too, which i think it cool.
