Nginx C Modules
If you're writing nginx C modules, this consolidates the official development guide into 49 prioritized rules across memory management, request lifecycle, and the event loop. The categories are weighted by impact, so you hit the critical stuff first: pool allocation patterns, request finalization pitfalls, and async body reading. It's genuinely useful for catching the subtle mistakes that cause crashes in production, like accessing requests after finalization or forgetting cleanup handlers for external resources. The references cover everything from basic handler registration to upstream peer management and thread pool offloading. Worth pulling in when you're beyond the hello world phase and dealing with real module complexity.

Reference these guidelines when:
- Writing new nginx C modules (handlers, filters, upstream, load-balancers)
- Implementing configuration directives and merge logic
- Managing memory with nginx pools and shared memory zones
- Handling the HTTP request lifecycle (body reading, subrequests, finalization)
- Working with nginx's event loop, timers, and thread pools
