I've spent the last decade on Nginx and then of course spending lots of money on Nginx Plus for their upstream health checking. I knew HAProxy was a possible solution but was too happy with Nginx. The slow evolution of open-source Nginx has been frustrating to watch and the lack of basic features like upstream health checking in the open-source project is now ridiculous considering the excellent competition.
Is there a good alternative to openresty (aka nginx w/ lua) ?
I too have fought nginx on upstream health checking and have avoided the cost of Nginx Plus. I'd love a good alternative, but we have a number of lua plugins we depend on for rate limiting, metrics, auth, etc.

Well, HAProxy Community can do all this :)
