A lightweight C++ web server for Linux built with a thread pool, non-blocking sockets, epoll (ET and LT), and Reactor/simulated-Proactor event handling. It parses HTTP GET/POST requests with a state machine, supports user registration/login via a MySQL connection pool, includes sync/async logging, and handles tens of thousands of concurrent connections in Webbench stress tests.

Use cases

• learn linux network programming in c++
• build a lightweight http server from scratch
• study epoll reactor and proactor patterns
• practice c++ backend server interview project
• stress test a web server with webbench
• implement a thread pool and http parser
• serve static files and handle user login with mysql

When to choose

• you want to learn linux socket programming, epoll, and concurrency patterns in C++
• you need a small educational web server codebase to study and modify
• you are preparing for C++ backend interviews and want a well-known reference project

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade web server with full HTTP/1.1+ compliance, TLS, and security hardening
• you want a maintained framework with active feature development and community support
• you need cross-platform support beyond Linux
