What is the best way to organize the structure of Lua modules?

Question

Nginx

Hello.
I am writing a small project - an API for the site, the entire backend is written in Lua. And then the question came up - is it necessary to split the API methods into different .lua files? In the end, I will compile it into bytecode via LuaJIT, so I think, if the file is compiled + if it has lua_cache_code on in the config, then do I need to make 100500 files at all, or can I shove it into 1? PS Now, when calling different methods, index.lua connects modules from /modules/*method*.lua Will it somehow
affect the speed of the response from the fact that all the code will be in 1 file?

It's all about convenience for you.
To write any complicated project in one file is to confuse yourself. IMHO.
