    From there we began thinking about the API and how to interact with Lua we needed a cache layer and having used https://github.com/thibaultcha/lua-resty-mlcache in the past it was again a no brainer, it provides a really nice approach for caching data in various different levels inside the Nginx processes.

  • Nginx + SRT streaming - I need a push in the right direction

    I've been meaning to research using Nginx Lua scripting of stream module (https://github.com/openresty/stream-lua-nginx-module) to possibly do this. There is also widely used SRT Live Server (SLS) but Github projects seems to be abandoned https://github.com/Edward-Wu/srt-live-server

    For http we actually had to use another server block, I didn't like this but as the current stream Lua module doesn't have access_by_lua_* https://github.com/openresty/stream-lua-nginx-module#todo we cant read the host of a normal TCP request (not easily)
