  • Crow

    A Fast and Easy to use microframework for the web. (by CrowCpp)

  • We did our own custom cgi type backends at one place that I worked. The code was ugly but it worked. We were extremely limited in flash and memory size though. I wouldn't want to do it again. If I needed to do something like that again I would probably use rust these days with stuff like rocket and actix libraries available. if you have space and memory you'd better off using something like node or python that called your "high speed" c++ code where necessary. That said if you can get away with microservices type setup there is Crow https://github.com/CrowCpp/crow

    Wt, C++ Web Toolkit

  • wt is a pretty nice framework. I was able to make a nice simple interactive website for private use in a couple of days.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
