## What it is
A curated awesome-list of Nginx distributions, third-party modules, embeddable scripting languages, tools, tutorials, and active developers. It serves as a discovery index for the Nginx ecosystem rather than being software itself.

## Use cases
- find nginx third-party modules for my use case
- discover nginx distributions like OpenResty and Tengine
- learn how to embed Lua or JavaScript in nginx
- find tutorials and resources for nginx configuration
- locate active nginx module developers
- compare nginx distributions for media streaming

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point to explore the nginx ecosystem
- you need to discover modules, distributions, or tutorials for nginx
- you are evaluating nginx forks like OpenResty, Tengine, or Angie

## When to avoid
- you need runnable software rather than a list of links
- you need official nginx documentation or support
- you need a maintained tool with a license and releases

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, awesome-lists
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, nginx, curated-list, web-server, third-party-modules, openresty, linux, macos
