Drogon
A high-performance C++17/20 HTTP web framework for building asynchronous, cross-platform server applications.
What is Drogon?
Drogon is a C++17/20-based HTTP web application framework for building high-performance, asynchronous server applications. It provides a non-blocking I/O architecture, cross-platform support, and tools for developing RESTful APIs, web services, and real-time communication servers. The framework solves the need for scalable, low-latency web services in C++ without sacrificing developer productivity.
C++ developers building high-concurrency web servers, RESTful APIs, or real-time applications requiring maximum performance and efficient resource utilization. It's also suitable for teams needing a cross-platform solution with modern asynchronous patterns.
Developers choose Drogon for its benchmark-leading performance, full asynchronous model, and comprehensive feature set—including ORM, WebSocket, and templating—all within a clean, decoupled C++ framework. Its command-line tool (drogon_ctl) simplifies boilerplate, while cross-platform support ensures deployment flexibility.
