Description

Hello,

Im not sure if that's possible but before I look at openresty / LUA scripting, within my microservice (nodejs), I had a websocket client that was connecting to a remote server to sync up data into redis before the service was accessible.

Those data are relative to the authentication of the users, routes, certificates and should be available before the service is up.

Can I do the same thing directly on nginx level using LUA ( and lua-resty-weboscket / lua-resty-redis ) ? As websocket and redis are not usuable in the init_* block, Im wondering how I could proceed.

Thanks

Research direction

Start by reading the OpenResty init_* block behavior and the lua-resty-websocket and lua-resty-redis entry points mentioned in the issue. Determine whether the requested pre-start synchronization can be supported at the nginx level, and document a confirmed approach or the limitation that prevents it.
