Project mention: I'm open-sourcing my game engine | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19

They use (uWebSockets)[https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets], which was written in C++, but has an interface to use in NodeJS. It's been really performant for me in my simple tests compared to other popular websocket libs that slow down fairly quickly.

• C++ REST SDK

  13 7,820 3.6 C++

  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.

  

Project mention: What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes? | /r/cpp | 2023-09-06

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.

Project mention: What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes? | /r/cpp | 2023-09-06

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.
