Some examples of deployment in the wild would have helped?

  Yep, for some reason my imagination is just not kicking in here. What can I do with embedded Lua in backend? I'm not familiar with Lua at all so I have no idea.

    Well, couldn't the same question be asked about using Python or Ruby within a server? It's scriptable, easier and faster to iterate with. Dynamic. You can execute Lua scripts in Redis. LuaJIT and other implementations can be incredibly fast and pretty fun to code in.

    You can use the excellent fullmoon framework that takes care of a lot for you https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon Then using lua is not much different than python/flask

      Well except a lot faster at runtime
