Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
C++ REST SDK

What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes?
My favourite was Microsoft's cpprestsdk, but for some reason now is in maintenance mode, I don't know why, so it's hard to suggest it for new projects. A nice alternative is restc-cpp, that's has a good high-level interface, if this is what you want.
We also used https://github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk but that isn't maintained- it was a pain working around the the different string sizes on different platforms

REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
CppRestSDK is deprecated.

REST library: production 'ready'
https://github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk (concerned about being maintenance mode -> production?)

Have there been any attempts to build a REST API service on top of either Boost.asio or Boost.beast?
While it's not based on Boost Asio or Beast, Microsoft maintains a SDK for developing REST api's using C++, aptly named the C++ REST SDK. Here you can find the Github page. It pretty much covers everything you'd come to expect from a modern webserver package. It does come with a steep learning curve however.

I never thought I'd laud microsoft on open source software but this has certainly made my life easier... I mean come on, MIT licensed and everything...

>But is it truly practical to use in 'higher-abstraction' apps like web or mobile?
Yes absolutely. Once you become familiar with the language the barrier is not that high. Familiarity trumps everything else.
That said, since i am not a Web/mobile developer i had collected some resources to help me learn how to use C++ for Web/Mobile apps, you may find it useful;

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
I was starting a project that needs to read data with rest API and I'd like to use cpprestsdk from Microsoft. But it's readme says that's in maintenance mode and it's not recommended for new projects... I'd like to know why it's in maintenance mode, and if it will be abandoned. Also, if there's some equivalent library for cpp, instead of creating the business logic from scratch, i.e. with boost::beast.

How to use C++ as backend
So, if you're going that route, you can use one of the many HTTP wrappers around Boost::ASIO or something purpose-built like Pistache or Casablanca.

Coroutines in C
I've found myself at this webpage multiple times while trying to minimize the complexity of APIs in my C projects.
My conclusion for now is that C coroutines are something to be left to the implementer. For example: Mongoose (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) uses event callbacks to deal with asynchronousness. It is much more pleasant to wrap a library like this in whatever thread/task primitives your system has rather than try to integrate the mythical cross-platform c couroutine.

BCHS stack: BSD, C, httpd, SQLite
I remember using mongoose 15 years back. Today i would have considered mongoose(10k+ stars) which is also a mature c/c++ web server[1] if not the licence.
- New scalable, fault-tolerant, and efficient open-source MQTT broker
- Eu não tinha nada melhor pra fazer, aí comecei a escrever um servidor HTTP em C do zero usando winsock.

Experience using crow as web server
Alternatives at the low to medium level of abstraction include civetweb and mongoose, which have a common ancestor. Both of these appear to be C rather than C++, but seem to be production quality and well-documented. Another C library is cpp-httplib, which is probably too low-level for me.

libonion or libhttpserver for embedding a webserver in a small application?
Since this is only going to be used internally would Mongoose be worth considering?

Ask HN: Learn C in 2023?
The language is only part of it. In my opinion, you would learn even more about C by consuming well-known libraries written in C and trying to do something useful with it and complementing that with some books, etc rather than just learning the syntax and semantics of C.
There are tons of useful/fun things you could do with C. Write some desktop apps with GTK, a web server with Mongoose (https://mongoose.ws), etc.
