OpenResty is a full-fledged web platform that integrates the standard Nginx core, LuaJIT, many carefully written Lua libraries, lots of high quality 3rd-party Nginx modules, and most of their external dependencies. It is designed to help developers easily build scalable web applications, web services, and dynamic web gateways.
 
By taking advantage of various well-designed Nginx modules (most of which are developed by the OpenResty team themselves), OpenResty effectively turns the nginx server into a powerful web app server, in which the web developers can use the Lua programming language to script various existing nginx C modules and Lua modules and construct extremely high-performance web applications that are capable to handle 10K ~ 1000K+ connections in a single box.

Kong is a cloud-native, fast, scalable, and distributed Microservice Abstraction Layer (also known as an API Gateway, API Middleware or in some cases Service Mesh). Backed by the battle-tested NGINX with a focus on high performance, Kong was made available as an open-source platform in 2015. Under active development, Kong is used in production at thousands of organizations from startups, Global 5000 and Government organizations.
 
If you are building for web, mobile or IoT (Internet of Things) you will likely end up needing common functionality to run your actual software. Kong can help by acting as a gateway (or a sidecar) for microservices requests while providing load balancing, logging, authentication, rate-limiting and more through plugins.
 
Its features include: 
<ul>
<li>Cloud-Native: Platform agnostic, Kong can run from bare metal to
Kubernetes.</li>
<li>Dynamic Load Balancing: Load balance traffic across multiple backend
services.</li>
<li>Service Discovery: Resolve SRV records in third-party DNS resolvers like
Consul.</li>
<li>Serverless: Invoke and secure AWS Lambda or OpenWhisk fuctions directly
from Kong.</li>
<li>WebSockets: Communicate to your upstream services via WebSockets.</li>
<li>OAuth2.0: Easily add OAuth2.0 authentication to your APIs.</li>
<li>Logging: Log requests and responses to your system over HTTP, TCP, UDP,
or to disk.</li>
<li>Security: ACL, Bot detection, whitelist/blacklist IPs, etc...</li>
<li>Syslog: Logging to System log.</li>
<li>SSL: Setup a Specific SSL Certificate for an underlying service or API.</li>
<li>Monitoring: Live monitoring provides key load and performance server
metrics.</li>
<li>Authentications: HMAC, JWT, Basic, and more.</li>
<li>Rate-limiting: Block and throttle requests based on many variables.</li>
<li>Transformations: Add, remove, or manipulate HTTP requests and responses.</li>
<li>Caching: Cache and serve responses at the proxy layer.</li>
<li>CLI: Control your Kong cluster from the command line.</li>
<li>REST API: Kong can be operated with its RESTful API for maximum
flexibility.</li>
<li>Geo-Replicated: Configs are always up-to-date across different regions.</li>
<li>Failure Detection &amp; Recovery: Kong is unaffected if one of your Cassandra
nodes goes down.</li>
<li>Clustering: All Kong nodes auto-join the cluster keeping their config
updated across nodes.</li>
<li>Scalability: Distributed by nature, Kong scales horizontally by simply
adding nodes.</li>
<li>Performance: Kong handles load with ease by scaling and using NGINX at
the core.</li>
<li>Plugins: Extendable architecture for adding functionality to Kong and
APIs.</li>
</ul>

NAXSI means Nginx Anti XSS & SQL Injection. NAXSI is an open-source, high performance, low rules maintenance WAF for NGINX. Technically, it is a third party nginx module, available as a package for many UNIX-like platforms. This module, by default, reads a small subset of simple (and readable) rules containing 99% of known patterns involved in website vulnerabilities. For example, <, | or drop are not supposed to be part of a URI.
 
Contrary to most Web Application Firewalls, Naxsi doesn't rely on a signature base like an antivirus, and thus cannot be circumvented by an "unknown" attack pattern.
