OpenResty with pgmoon

This project combines the power of OpenResty (a powerful web platform that extends NGINX) with pgmoon, a PostgreSQL client written in Lua. It’s designed to enable direct database access from within NGINX, allowing for high-performance database operations without additional application servers.

The integration provides a streamlined solution for developers who need to handle database operations directly at the web server level, perfect for microservices and API gateways that require fast database access.

Key benefits:

• Direct PostgreSQL access from NGINX
• High performance through connection pooling
• Reduced architecture complexity
• Native Lua integration
• Simple configuration setup

Whether you’re building a high-performance API or optimizing your web infrastructure, this setup offers a robust solution for PostgreSQL integration at the NGINX level.
