What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes?
In my past job, we used https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio and absolutely loved it. It's not as active but it honestly didn't need much.

What are some fun project ideas with C++?
Here's a C++ REST framework for you to use too: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio
- What code/project you saw was both inspiring and maintainable?

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I had a good experience using restinio for a small ASIO HTTP server recently.

Can I use C++ in the backend ?? Any frameworks there ??
It uses restinio https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio with great success ;)

Confused about beginning application development using c++. Pls help.
For networking, pick a networking library. Restinio is a fair choice for HTTP. But, again, feel free to pick others.

NodeJS vs Go for low memory usage
You may find this worthwhile: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio/issues/101 FWIW, I used Restbed successfully for 3.5 years before switching personal projects to Restino. I've left the job that used Restbed, but I think they are still using it.

What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use?
Contrary to the direction most people go, I've been writing REST APIs as C++ servers using two different fairly full featured C++ REST frameworks: first using https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed and more lately using https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio. These can be peers with any other server, while living on embedded and/or high compute devices for video encode/decode/analysis, deployed ML models, encryption for and remote process communications, model data collection and similar expensive or in-field processing. In both high compute and in-field-no-internet situations creating REST APIs in C++ enables speed and system controls not present in the majority of the mainstream REST frameworks. It's a big world, and here comes ubiquitous high compute...

Suggested libraries for building a REST service in C++?
I like this one Drogon.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing RESTinio and drogon you can also consider the following projects:
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.
Restbed - Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
Crow - Crow is very fast and easy to use C++ micro web framework (inspired by Python Flask)
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 - A Fast and Easy to use microframework for the web.
lithium - Easy to use C++17 HTTP Server with no compromise on performances. https://matt-42.github.io/lithium
µWebSockets - Simple, secure & standards compliant web server for the most demanding of applications
Pistache - A high-performance REST toolkit written in C++
