Still, it would be interesting with connections to real-life applications. I was hoping to figure out a few practical ways of using more of my nginx spare cycles. I'm sure there's a ton of cool stuff one could actually use this for, but I'm none the wiser after the presentation.
- agentzh 17y agoWell, we're building our business (some data products in Taobao.com) atop this kind of nginx-based technology ;) We'll also make extensive use of AJAX, Flash, and Jemplate in this context. To be clearer, this is not a project just for fun, but rather, a serious company project that is allowed to be opensourced.
- agentzh 17y agoI must add that, the stuffs shown in these slides are just our "level 1 scripting". There will be level 2 and level 3, so as to support more sophisticated business logic in our data platform. Level 2 will be ngx_lua scripting which provides Erlang-style transparent non-blocking I/O support and access to the whole nginx infrastructure and all the level 1 scripting goodies. Level 3 will be...well...Perl 6, JavaScript, and PHP scripting atop the ngx_lua VM (by the corresponding X -> Lua compiler). grin We'll eventually get there.
