  Two of the fairly popular open-source API gateways, Kong and Apache APISIX, are based on OpenResty that is mainly powered by Nginx and Lua. NixOS has first-class support for OpenResty. So, naturally, I decided to give it a try. The result was promising enough for us to start migrating our current APISIX deployments to OpenResty on NixOS.

  We have been using Apache APISIX for a while now. It is a high-performance, cloud-native API gateway solution. It also has a nice dashboard for managing APIs. However, I have been looking for a simpler and more portable solution for our use case. In particular, I want to be able manage the API gateway as a NixOS service so that the configuration can be tested and redeployed easily.
