Blocking requests at the edge with NGINX Ingress and Lua
Hello, Internet! In this post, I’ll show how to use Lua scripting within the NGINX Ingress Controller to implement advanced traffic filtering and request handling logic. It’s an approach I used to solve a problem some time ago. In short, the post is about how Lua can help apply fine-grained request filtering right at the edge (in ingress definitions via annotations). If that sounds interesting, this post is for you.
