Nginx&#x27;s modularity and tolerance&#x2F;embrace of plugins is absolutely amazing. I use a combination of openresty[0], lua scripting, and third party modules in our API servers (coincidentally, one that talks directly to Redis) and it&#x27;s still one of the fastest, best pieces of software in our stack.<p>I understand the concern, but if it ends up being half as flexible (and I already love me some Redis) I can only see good things.
