About:
Drogon is a high-performance C++17/20 framework for building web services and APIs. It leverages asynchronous I/O and a non-blocking architecture to deliver exceptional throughput and low latency. The framework includes an ORM, template engine, and built-in support for HTTP/2 and WebSocket protocols.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous non-blocking I/O
  • Integrated ORM and template engine
  • HTTP/2, WebSocket, and SSL support
  • High performance and scalability
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance REST APIs
  • Developing real-time web services
  • Creating microservices architectures
Alternatives:
  • Boost.Beast – Lower-level library requiring more manual setup
  • Pistache – Modern C++ REST framework, but Drogon often benchmarks higher
