From commercial websites to modern Web applications to network storage systems and growing possibilities, OpenResty is essential to an increasing variety of Web technologies and business industries. One common usage is to create full-fledged Web applications, such as e-commerce platforms, Web management systems, and large-scale streaming websites.
