You can use the excellent fullmoon framework that takes care of a lot for you

Then using lua is not much different than python/flask

My goal is similar to Joseph's (a platform for local first applications using CRDTs), but the approach is slightly different, as I'm building it based on SQLite synchronization using its session extension (https://www.sqlite.org/sessionintro.html) as the encoding mechanism. I plan to incorporate this sync functionality into my web framework (https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon) to allow any application built with it to become "sync-enabled" with just a couple of additional lines of code.

Found it whilst checking out a web framework specifically for redbean: https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon

I've been having a lot of fun with this developing tiny webapps using Fullmoon[1]. I love Lua, but I frequently bounce between a Windows PC and a Linux PC. Having redbean + Fullmoon has made it a breeze switching back and forth without having to deal with system Lua installs. SQLite and the thorough amount of built-ins[2] is also a dream.

Yes, that register patch may be needed on some Linux systems; I'll add this to the documentation.

Redbean can't use the system Lua, so it comes bundled with its own Lua interpreter (Lua 5.4; there is also work being done to allow LuaJIT or Luau to be embedded instead).

The modules need to be put in the .lua directory within redbean archive; redbean searches within its archive, so you don't need to set LUA_PATH/LUA_CPATH. I have instructions on how to get examples working included in the examples (https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon/tree/more-links#examp...) section.

In terms of the size, this includes MbedTLS and SQLite, so if you don't need those modules, you can compile redbean without them, which should reduce the size considerably.
