Your application can reside in a separate directory, say, ~/MyApp, and
make it contain the subdirectories like
conf/
lua/
logs/
And then start the nginx using the -p option like this:
/usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx -p ~/MyApp/

When you don't need Lua to do post-processing for the response data,
sticking with pure nginx upstream C module configuration in those
locations is a good idea. You just need to ensure that your nginx.conf
does not get messy with basic nginx.conf scripting.
Always benchmark before you make a decision :)

Are you comparing locations configured solely with ngx_drizzle with
locations with Lua + lua-resty-mysql? Can you elaborate here? Also,
have you enabled LuaJIT 2.0.0 (final) in your openresty build? Have
you enabled connection pools?

There's still a lot of room in ngx_lua for optimizations ;)
