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.

Caddy is the first and only web server to use HTTPS automatically and by default
I'm always a bit bothered by them saying they are the "only" web server that can do this. First you can also just configure it in a way where it will not use HTTPS (e.g. if you provide an IP:port instead of a hostname). And if you do require specific configuration to enable HTTPS and automatically get certificates via ACME, then lots of other web servers can do this too. Even my own web server can do it: https://github.com/pfirsich/htcpp (see https://github.com/pfirsich/htcpp/blob/main/configs/acme.jom... for an admittedly much more complicated config).

Introducing co-uring-http, an HTTP server built on C++ 20 coroutines and `io_uring`
Cool stuff! I am currently converting my io_uring based HTTP server (https://github.com/pfirsich/htcpp) to using coroutines as well, so this is cool to see. (WIP library here: https://github.com/pfirsich/aiopp)

http sever testing tool
I recently built an HTTP(S) server myself (https://github.com/pfirsich/htcpp) and did not find something like you are looking for. If you also don't find anything (but please link it if you do!), consider just running your server on a publicly accessible VM and listening on port 80 and you will be bombarded by various people trying to break in. Most of it will be useless, like checks for unprotected phpMyAdmin and stuff like that, but I did find a few bugs that way. I even found some TLS issues (of course listen on 443 instead).

Who is using C++ for web development?
I am serving static HTML from a web server, which I have built myself using C++: https://github.com/pfirsich/htcpp. I am not sure if that even counts, but I'm kind of proud of it. And I use it to serve my personal website: https://theshoemaker.de.

What is the best option to do networking in c++?
You can also look into Poco https://pocoproject.org/
-
Is C/C++ good for the backend? If so, is there anything like Fastapi in C/C++?
I can't say enough good stuff about POCO for this type of work - when I first got my teams using it we used to joke that POCO was what Boost wants to be when it grows up. And nlohmann/json - cracking library for working with JSON in C++.

HTTP LISTENER C++
We use https://github.com/pocoproject/poco in most projects, very easy to set up a http listener

Who is using C++ for web development?
Did someone used Poco's Net Library to create a Rest Api? Poco Project
-
Do someone use CLion under Windows with good performance?
But CLion is so slow. Tested with Poco C++ standard build (https://pocoproject.org/). Moving around with Go To Definition takes sometimes up to 20 seconds if file is first touched. Using 'back' and 'forward' delays for 1-2 seconds.
-
Why am I not able to make https get requests using Poco::Net?
Yes, you need NetSSL - take a look at find_package(Poco REQUIRED COMPONENTS ... NetSSL) requires an aditional find_package(OpenSSL) since poco-10.

Can you recommend a good C++ open source project?

- CMake + Poco + FetchContent build options problem

The Curse of NixOS
Many of the necessary fixes do end up getting pushed upstream, though, thinking especially of stuff like converting CMake projects to use the GNUInstallDirs standard, so there is a benefit to the strictness work that extends beyond even just the Nix community itself.
Of course, sometimes those kinds of changes just never get merged, for a variety of well-understood open-sourcey reasons, eg: https://github.com/pocoproject/poco/pull/3105
