OpenResty seems to be a bundle of nginx add-ons, while Tengine is a fork. Also, tengine has DSO loading.
and would scripts written for openresty work for tengine?
My guess would be if the scripts are compatible with Ngingx-1.2.9 it should work.
How does this differ from OpenResty? They seem very similar. Both are based on Nginx, come from Alibaba, offer Lua scripting. So what's the difference?

Anyone here using this in Production who could comment if using Tengine makes sense over vanilla NGinx and workarounds?
Older discussion here on Hacker news including comments from the project leader explaining the reasons for the fork : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3645055 (I see a correlation of the reason with the recent news on ngingx plus, but that can be only mind tricks)
We asked how to collaborate with them.
Their replied as following: "It's interesting what you guys do and let's keep in touch. I'm not really quite sure right away in regards to what can be imported to the main branch, but hopefully we'll find things to collaborate on. We're a bit busy towards the end of the year, so probably a good idea to catch up in January."
More than two months have passed. We are still waiting for their requests. We are very confused ...

Seems reasonable to me. These people are running one of the largest websites out there, the project is open source, they seem to have put a reasonable effort into merging the changes back in, they were ignored. They could have just kept the changes internally but they decided to share. Good for them!

From the page (All features of Nginx-1.2.9 are inherited, i.e. it is 100% compatible with Nginx.) My guess would be if the scripts are compatible with Ngingx-1.2.9 it should work.
