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.

I want to share my latest hobby project, dbeel: A distributed thread-per-core nosql db written in rust
I used glommio as the async executor (instead of something like tokio), and it is wonderful. For people wondering whether it's "good enough" or to use C++ and seastar (as I have thought about a lot before starting this project), take the leap of faith, it's fast - both in terms of run time and to code.

How much reason is there to be multi-threaded in the k8s environment
b) It's proven now e.g Seastar, Glommio that the fastest way to run a multi-threaded application is to have one instance with one thread pinned per CPU core. Then to have fibers/lightweight threads on top handling all of the asynchronous code. Your approach of lots of instances is the slowest so there will be a ton of unnecessary thread context-switching.

Are You Sure You Want to Use MMAP in Your Database Management System?
The most common example is DPDK [1]. It's a framework for building bespoke networking stacks that are usable from userspace, without involving the kernel.
You'll find DPDK mentioned a lot in the networking/HPC/data center literature. An example of a backend framework that uses DPDK is the seastar framework [2]. Also, I recently stumbled upon a paper for efficient RPC networks in data centers [3].
If you want to learn more, the p99 conference by ScyllaDB has tons of speakers talking about some interesting challenges.

Why does Actix-web's handler not require Send?
I assume Tokio itself, see e.g monoio or glommio, but also Seastar for C++.
-
What is DPDK library in C and how to learn it?
https://core.dpdk.org/supported/ lists supported nics. You're best just reading material from the dpdk website for figuring out roughly what it is. It is used for a lot of different goals. For most web C++ stuff it's mainly used because you can avoid round trips of data passing through the kernel and can reference network data without tons of copying. For an example check out the SeaStar framework, https://seastar.io/, which is under the hood of ScyllaDB.

How Numberly Replaced Kafka with a Rust-Based ScyllaDB Shard-Aware Application
As this is a Kafka sub, this may be a good opportunity to mention that Redpanda is based on the same framework (seastar) as Scylla. The idea of sharding work to CPU cores turns out to apply very well to the Kafka data model, too!
-
What are some C++ projects with high quality code that I can read through?
Seastar which is a thread per core runtime written by the Scylla devs thats used in both Redpanda and Scylla as the underlying runtime. https://github.com/scylladb/seastar

Abstraction Is Expensive
ScyllaDB is, ironically, maybe one of the worst examples the author could have come up with for "abstraction" in the article.
If folks aren't familiar with their work/internal tech, go check out some of their repos like Seastar. They have some of the most talented systems programmers on the planet writing thin veneers over kernel and hardware API's to squeeze every ounce out of performance.

I know it's beside the point, but I just had to share because I thought that was funny

Modern JVM Multithreading • Paweł Jurczenko • Devoxx Poland 2021
I’ve seen frameworks for c++ (https://seastar.io/) and rust (https://github.com/actix/actix) which support what you’re describing out of the box.
-
Who is using C++ for web development?
If you're interested in scaling and asynchronous programming in c++ I highly recommend you investigate the SeaStar application framework. You wouldn't build a web service with SeaStar, rather you would build the infrastructure that you would use to build the web service on top of. https://github.com/scylladb/seastar

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?
poco (portable components) https://pocoproject.org/

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
