Take a break and watch two recent engineering talks

On October 30, 2014, John Graham-Cumming spoke at dotGo 2014 conference in Paris while his colleague Yichun Zhang presented at the first NGINX conference in San Francisco. The talk by Yichun Zhang focused on the latest features and tools of the ngx_lua module, which embeds Lua dynamic language into the NGINX core, transforming it into a highly scriptable proxy server. This module is also used as a non-blocking full-stack web application server known as OpenResty. The session covered new features such as light threads, websockets, timers, SSL/TLS cosockets, and more. Additionally, advanced tools for troubleshooting and profiling ngx_lua-based systems were discussed.
