Experience using crow as web server
I'm investigating using C++ to build a REST server, and would love to know of people's experiences with Crow-- or whether they would recommend something else as a "medium-level" abstraction C++ web server. As background, I started off experimenting with Python/FastAPI, which is great, but there is too much friction to translate from pybind11-exported C++ objects to the format that FastAPI expects, and, of course, there are inherent performance limitations using Python, which could impact scaling up if the project were to be successful.

How about Crow?

What library/framework to use for writing a Web server?
https://github.com/CrowCpp/Crow is super easy to use

Transport agnostic Websocket library
I recommend Crow, it's a web framework that supports HTTP and Websockets. It's a bit larger than being only there to just let you compose or decode a packet. But I'm pretty sure everything you mentioned is there already :)

What's next after learncpp.com?
It's also very useful to get to grips with using some popular libraries. Some might be ones that you'll find yourself using everywhere (e.g. fmt, spdlog, catch2), and some that have more specific usage, but are good to try out and explore what C++ can do in a ridiculously easy-to-use manner (e.g. crow, Dear ImGui). Make some toy projects that use some of these and you'll learn a lot.

Can I use C++ in the backend ?? Any frameworks there ??
I've been working on Crow for quite a while now, it's a pretty cool framework IMO.

Have there been any attempts to build a REST API service on top of either Boost.asio or Boost.beast?

Suggested libraries for building a REST service in C++?
I like this one Drogon.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Crow and drogon you can also consider the following projects:
cpp-httplib - A C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library
Oat++ - 🌱Light and powerful C++ web framework for highly scalable and resource-efficient web application. It's zero-dependency and easy-portable.
Crow - Crow is very fast and easy to use C++ micro web framework (inspired by Python Flask)
C++ REST SDK - The C++ REST SDK is a Microsoft project for cloud-based client-server communication in native code using a modern asynchronous C++ API design. This project aims to help C++ developers connect to and interact with services.
Boost.Beast - HTTP and WebSocket built on Boost.Asio in C++11
lithium - Easy to use C++17 HTTP Server with no compromise on performances. https://matt-42.github.io/lithium
Pistache - A high-performance REST toolkit written in C++
µWebSockets - Simple, secure & standards compliant web server for the most demanding of applications
