LRU Reverse-proxy with Nginx, Redis, and Lua

Enter the nginx modules Redis2 and Lua. The former allows you to make any call you like to Redis, as opposed to HttpRedis which only allows the plain old GET command. The latter allows you do embed Lua scripts in your nginx config, effectively giving nginx a bigger brain and allowing you to do some pretty fancy stuff. In this post we'll set nginx and redis up to serve as a reverse-proxy LRU cache.
