I think Lapis is pretty solid: http://leafo.net/lapis/. Haven't used it before but it seems pretty solid.Do also check out bungle's excellent li...

Does anyone know of web application frameworks for OpenResty (or Nginx+Lua) that are still actively developed? I understand there are other Lua web projects out there (Kepler Project, WSAPI, Luvit, Turbo Lua, BarracudaDrive, Mako Server), but I'm looking for a framework written specifically for, or that works well with, OpenResty.

What kind of framework are you looking at? I suppose you are looking for full stack RoR-type of framework?

Lapis comes quite close:

http://leafo.net/lapis/

I also have been building so called "decoupled" libraries that I think will form somekind of framework in a future, some components that I already have build and are considered production quality:

1. https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-template

2. https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-validation

3. https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-reqargs

4. https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-session

5. https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-sass

And others + OpenResty core libs of course.

Now these are separate and you have to write your own glue... One project I have been building is somewhat going to glue these neatly together is this:

- https://github.com/bungle/lua-resty-route

It is already a pretty nice, but I cannot promise that I do not change it, so it's still under development.

Other frameworks you may look are listed here:

https://github.com/bungle/awesome-resty#web-frameworks

But this is a young community, and we don't, and probebly never will, have so called _the_ framework like RoR is on Ruby side.

I'm basically quite fine with mostly libs and I can write my own glue, but I know that bigger teams may want to have more opionated framework to guide them.
