is there an existing api library for lua+redis?

I've setup a resty server with an redis db.

I want to CRUD values in redis db from an external resource like a control-panel which is running on another server.

Therefore I thought about some api routes to get/set.. values from/to the database.

e.g. server B sends a json post request to resty server, resty server parses the request and save the values into the database.

Is there an existing library for a use case like that?

Are there existing projects wich do something similar?

Is there a way to secure the api with jwt tokens?

- or am I completely wrong with my approach? (I'm not a resty nor a lua expert)

I have done the same kind of thing for Beanstalkd and it works.

It might work even better with redis because there is a resty module for redis but I don't know any projects already doing that.

You just need to define your locations in your conf and call some lua redis functions.

For jwt, there is : https://github.com/SkyLothar/lua-resty-jwt

Personally, I used Hawk (https://github.com/hueniverse/hawk) but jwt looks a lot more common.
