Lua in OpenResty is one of my favorite ways to ingest events. I publish them into Redis and then have some Python workers subscribed to process them.

I had experience with OpenResty, I was so proud to kill it in one of the projects, I didn't know Lua/MoonScript good enough, tooling and debugging wasn't that great. While the idea is nice, everything around it was too much for me.
