Why HN links it

Linked in a thread on SNI-based reverse proxying to support a point about using Nginx with Lua as an API gateway. The linked post covers augmenting an API with that Nginx and Lua combination.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Share, secure, distribute, control, and monetize your APIs.
