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++ backend with React.js frontend
A coworker at my last job used pistache.io as a web back-end framework for C++ to good effect. I have no idea if it's the best, or even good, but I know that he made a project with it that I was calling into (I was building the front-end) and it worked.

I'm not sure what to study now ):
There are some C++ API frameworks like Pistache or Restbed (full list here) to get started. If I should be 100% honest, I don't think C++ is worth for APIs as we have easier solutions with the same performance nowadays (like Go and Rust), but I think we should try everything, right?

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
If you need an embedded C++ HTTP server then there are plenty of libraries/frameworks (in random order): Crow, RESTinio, Boost.Beast, cpp-httplib, http_backend, Pistache, RestBed, served, proxygen, Simple-Web-Server, drogon, oat++.

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 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.

Microsoft YARP
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.
What are some alternatives?
Crow - Crow is very fast and easy to use C++ micro web framework (inspired by Python Flask)
Boost.Beast - HTTP and WebSocket built on Boost.Asio in C++11
Oat++ - 🌱Light and powerful C++ web framework for highly scalable and resource-efficient web application. It's zero-dependency and easy-portable.
libcurl - A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features
Restbed - Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
drogon - Drogon: A C++14/17 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows [Moved to: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon]
POCO - The POCO C++ Libraries are powerful cross-platform C++ libraries for building network- and internet-based applications that run on desktop, server, mobile, IoT, and embedded systems.
Civetweb - Embedded C/C++ web server
Simple-WebSocket-Server
Crow - A Fast and Easy to use microframework for the web.
