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.

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.

>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.

I'm open-sourcing my game engine
They use (uWebSockets)[https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets], which was written in C++, but has an interface to use in NodeJS. It's been really performant for me in my simple tests compared to other popular websocket libs that slow down fairly quickly.

8 Best WebSocket Libraries For Node
µWebSockets, pronounced as "microWebSocket”, is a WebSocket library written in C++ and has Node.js bindings. Its design focuses on being efficient and scalable, making it ideal for applications that require high concurrency and low latency.

Recommendations for a CPP HTTP server which supports changing max threads at run time.
You can do that with any single threaded library that leaves threading to you. Like for example https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets

What's the hot tech stack these days?
Websockets are also pretty valuable for updating the page in real time, there are servers in many languages. I'm a big fan of https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets which is C++ but also has JS bindings to use with Node.js.

I have done a full benchmark of a POST REST API on my computer: Node.js vs Fastify vs Express.js vs Deno vs Bun vs GO. Node.js is used WITH and WITHOUT clustering on 6-core I7 processor
Can you include uWebsockets? https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets

Nuklear – A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library
Not exaclty -- it looks like it's pretty overkill for my needs
I'm looking for something more like websocketpp[0], or even just grpc without a requisite proxy. uWebsockets looks really promising, being header only, but in the fine print requires a runtime library. unfortunately, none of that ecosystem seems to use cmake, making integrating it that much more of a pain.
why use cpp for this, I'm sure some HNer will ask. the ray tracer itself is using cuda, that's why. I've also debated
- running it as a grpc server and having some proxy in a more web-accessible language
- creating python bindings and using python to make a websocket/http server for it
neither of those are out of the question, but they're not my first choices, because I'd like to keep the build & execution simple. introducing dependencies, especially other executables, is in conflict with that.
i don't need anything particularly scalable -- a threaded implementation, or one using select() would be fine, if not preferable.

WebSocket Server in C
Really cool i also made and CAPI for using WebSocket in C, https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets/tree/master/capi
I will take a deep look on your project thanks for sharing!

Socketify.py - Maybe the fastest web framework for Python and PyPy
We discover a really fast, small, and well maintained C++ Library called uNetworking/uWebSockets, but no C API available, so we create and adapt the full C API from uNetworking/uWebSockets and will integrate libuv powered fetch and file IO, this same C API is used by Bun
- In the 1970s, programming was an elite's task. Today programming is done by uneducated "farmers" and as a result, the care for smart algorithms, memory usage, CPU-time usage and the like has dwindled in comparison.
What are some alternatives?
