Building High Performing and Scalable Platforms Using OSS
summary
Capital One builds production platforms using OpenResty + nginx as the reverse proxy and runtime, implements business logic as Lua plugins, and ships an API gateway and tokenization service that runs in front of microservices. The stack replaces heavier middleware with lightweight proxies, scales to handle production traffic with low latency, simplifies deployments, and seeds an internal Lua community that standardizes modules and contributions back to OSS.
