Drogon
C++ HTTP application framework for building web application server programs, with asynchronous I/O, routing, views, sessions, WebSockets and database access.
Drogon is a C++ HTTP application framework for building web application server programs. A project builds the framework with CMake, from source or on the Docker image the installation page describes, then registers controllers, handlers and CSP view templates in its application. Drogon connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and SQLite through client libraries that are installed at build time, and it can run as a daemon in the background when its configuration file says so.
