Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.
-
I just pulled this: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq and it was like 80k lines of code.
-
proxygen claims to support all 3, although I'm still not sure if it's an actual library or just an interface.
-
wfrest is a c++ async micro web framework based on C++ Workflow
-
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.
Assuming you want to make a REST API check this out: https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk
-
adding in one slightly larger lib (sockets+a protocol, eg https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/), or multiple smaller libs that work together (boost) makes little difference. zero dependencies would make a difference -- one and two do not.
-
SonarQube
Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.
-
GameNetworkingSockets
Reliable & unreliable messages over UDP. Robust message fragmentation & reassembly. P2P networking / NAT traversal. Encryption.
Project mention: If you want the most basic of multiplayer to your Singleplayer game, Steam Networking Messages actually works pretty nicely | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2022-01-16It's also worth adding that unlike most other components of the Steam API, SteamNetworkingMessages and SteamNetworkingSockets are open-source and can be used outside of Steam.
-
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.
This is why I generally prefer Threadpools, or a producer-consumer pattern. Both these patterns require a queue that contains the jobs or units of work. Worker threads will continually try to read items from such a queue and process the item. There are some libraries that offer threadsafe queue's and/or threadpools, such as poco, QT or boost, but it's actually fairly simple to implement your own, using only the STL. So let's implement one now!

Project mention: How and where I can learn about Web sockets, APIs, Wrappers to connect with my C++ code? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2021-04-19
Learning how to use this library is probably your best bet: https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp

https://github.com/MFatihMAR/Game-Networking-Resources (This is a list maintained by someone else, and it has some amazing things in it, and far more technical leaning than what I maintain).
-
It's got several C++ wrappers if you prefer those, my favourite is C++ requests
-
In this section, I'll use an open-source HTTP client named Nghttp2 for testing the server.
-
Project mention: Suggestions for a minimal and simple http client library? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2021-11-02
Boost Beast?
-
evpp
A modern C++ network library for developing high performance network services in TCP/UDP/HTTP protocols.
-
cpp-netlib
The C++ Network Library Project -- cross-platform, standards compliant networking library.
-
Silicon
A high performance, middleware oriented C++14 http web framework please use matt-42/lithium instead
-
PcapPlusPlus
PcapPlusPlus is a multiplatform C++ library for capturing, parsing and crafting of network packets. It is designed to be efficient, powerful and easy to use. It provides C++ wrappers for the most popular packet processing engines such as libpcap, WinPcap, DPDK and PF_RING.
Project mention: PcapPlusPlus v21.11 released - C++ library for capturing and analyzing network packets | reddit.com/r/coolgithubprojects | 2021-11-10 -

Restbed
Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
Project mention: What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use? | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2021-09-02Contrary 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...

RESTinio
Cross-platform, efficient, customizable, and robust asynchronous HTTP/WebSocket server C++14 library with the right balance between performance and ease of use
-
Sorry, no idea. Maybe it's possible with Roc? if the drivers mentioned in the roc-send man page don't require the PulseAudio modules then maybe it's possible, and there's also support for ALSA.
