Kepler is a free software project written in Lua that provides a portable, extensible website development platform. Current stable release is Kepler 1.1.1, for Lua 5.1. Kepler works on Windows and most variants of Unix.

The platform was designed to work with a number of web serving environments, called "launchers" in Kepler terminology. Kepler includes launchers for Apache (mod lua), FastCGI, CGI, ISAPI as well as a native web server written in pure Lua, called Xavante [1].

Kepler also provides the following frameworks:

• WSAPI - a web server API that abstracts the web server from Lua web applications a la Rack and WSGI
• Orbit - a WSAPI-based model–view–controller (MVC) web framework^[2][3]

Kepler also provides the following modules:

• CGILua - tool for creating dynamic Web pages and manipulating input data from Web forms, providing a CGI-like programming paradigm for different launchers such as Xavante and mod_lua
• LuaSQL - an interface from Lua to a DBMS, enabling Lua programs to connect to ODBC, ADO, Oracle, MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL databases
• Copas - a coroutine-based dispatcher, used by Xavante
• Cosmo - a templating engine that is "safe" protecting applications from arbitrary code within templates
• Coxpcall - coroutine compatible encapsulation of native pcall and xpcall
• LuaFileSystem - a library of file manipulation routines complementing Lua's basic set
• Rings - a library for creating isolated Lua execution environments from within Lua
• LuaExpat - an interface to the XML processing library Expat
• LuaLogging - a simple logging API
• LuaZip - library for reading inside ZIP files
• MD5/DES56 - basic cryptographic library, providing a digest function and a crypt/decrypt pair

• Sputnik is a wiki with embedded Kepler^[4]
