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.

Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
Looking forward to the time when Meta will make https://github.com/facebookincubator/zstrong.git public
found it mentioned in https://github.com/facebook/proxygen/blob/main/build/fbcode_..., looks like it's going to be cousin of zstd, but maybe for the stronger compression use cases
- Nghttp3 1.0.0 – HTTP/3 library written in C
- Zap – fast back ends in Zig
- C++ (or C, I guess) application server that's QUIC/HTTP3 ready?
-
kleinsHTTP: A stupid stupidly simple HTTP Server
proxygen claims to support all 3, although I'm still not sure if it's an actual library or just an interface.

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++.

Experiments with h3 clients + Envoy

Pistache
- REST APIs using C++. (Is this even done much?)
-
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?

What are some alternatives?
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.
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.
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.
Restbed - Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
Simple-WebSocket-Server
drogon - Drogon: A C++14/17 based HTTP web application framework running on Linux/macOS/Unix/Windows [Moved to: https://github.com/drogonframework/drogon]
nghttp2 - nghttp2 - HTTP/2 C Library and tools
Mongoose - Embedded Web Server
Civetweb - Embedded C/C++ web server
