+NGINX could be extended with Lua scripts.
+
+Guix provides NGINX service with ability to load Lua module and specific
+Lua packages, and reply to requests by evaluating Lua scripts.
+
+The following example demonstrates system definition with configuration
+to evaluate @file{index.lua} Lua script on HTTP request to
+@uref{http://localhost/hello} endpoint:
+
+@example
+local shell = require "resty.shell"
+
+local stdin = ""
+local timeout = 1000  -- ms
+local max_size = 4096  -- byte
+
+local ok, stdout, stderr, reason, status =
+   shell.run([[/run/current-system/profile/bin/ls /tmp]], stdin, timeout, max_size)
