Wangle is a C++ networking library providing composable client/server abstractions for building protocols, application clients, and servers, similar to Netty and Finagle combined. It is built on folly's async I/O and futures, offering bootstraps, pipelines, and service filters for things like timeouts, rate limiting, and load balancing.

Use cases

• build a custom TCP protocol server in C++
• write an async echo server and client
• add request timeouts and rate limiting to a service
• implement client connection pooling and retry logic
• build a Thrift or HTTP-style request/response service
• manage threadpools and handler pipelines for socket data

When to choose

• you are building C++ network services and want Netty/Finagle-style abstractions
• you already use folly and want a higher-level async networking layer
• you need composable service filters for stats, timeouts, and retries

When to avoid

• you need a simple one-off HTTP client or server with minimal dependencies
• your project cannot take on folly and fizz build dependencies
• you are not working in C++
