## What it is
Sogou C++ Workflow is an enterprise-level C++ framework for parallel computing and asynchronous networking, powering Sogou's back-end services handling over 10 billion requests daily. It unifies networking tasks (HTTP, Redis, MySQL, Kafka, custom protocols) and computing tasks into a single asynchronous workflow engine supporting series, parallel, and arbitrary DAG task structures.

## Use cases
- build a high-performance http server in c++
- make async http redis mysql or kafka client calls
- build an rpc system on a custom protocol
- orchestrate tasks as series parallel or dag workflows
- schedule cpu computing tasks alongside network io in one flow
- do high-performance asynchronous file io on linux
- build a microservice system with service governance and load balancing
- write a high-concurrency backend service mixing computing and networking

## When to choose
- you need an enterprise-proven C++ async networking and task scheduling engine
- you want to unify network and compute tasks in one workflow or DAG
- you are building high-concurrency back-end servers or microservices in C++
- you need built-in clients for HTTP, Redis, MySQL, or Kafka with async semantics

## When to avoid
- you need a quick scripting-language solution rather than C++
- your project is a simple synchronous application without concurrency needs
- you require first-class Windows support from the main branch (it lives on a separate windows branch)
- you want a batteries-included web framework with templating and ORM rather than a networking engine
