TinyWebServer is a lightweight C++ web server framework for Linux, intended for learning and small to medium load usage. It leverages nonblocking sockets, epoll, and thread pools to handle high concurrency. It supports HTTP request parsing (GET and POST), serves static content (images, video files), integrates basic database-backed user registration/login, and implements synchronous/asynchronous logging systems. The project is often used by learners to practice network programming in C++ with high concurrency models. HTTP request parsing via a state machine capable of processing GET and POST. Tested under high concurrency (Webbench) to support tens of thousands of simultaneous connections.

Features

  • Uses thread pool + nonblocking sockets + epoll (supporting both ET and LT modes)
  • HTTP request parsing via a state machine capable of processing GET and POST
  • Static file serving (images, video, etc.)
  • Database integration for user registration and login
  • Logging subsystem (sync / async) to track server runtime state
  • Tested under high concurrency (Webbench) to support tens of thousands of simultaneous connections
