µWS ("microWS") is a modern C++17 implementation of WebSockets & HTTP. It focuses on performance & memory usage and has been shown to outperform Node.js v10 some 13x (8x with SSL) while still being just as easy to work with.
µWS v0.15 is about 20% faster than v0.14 for small sends, 260% faster for large sends (50 MB).
