Multithreaded C++ HTTP Server

C++17 Build Docker License

A high-performance, multithreaded HTTP server implementation in C++17 designed to demonstrate system programming concepts, low-level socket management, and modern C++ architectural patterns.

Coursework Project > Author: Stanislav Utkin
Group: ZKS-21

🚀 Features

  • High Performance: Implements a custom Thread Pool pattern to handle concurrent connections efficiently without the overhead of creating a new thread per request.
  • Architecture: Clean separation of concerns using OOP principles (Facade, Singleton).
  • Memory Safety: Full adherence to RAII idiom using Smart Pointers (std::unique_ptr), ensuring zero memory leaks.
  • Interactive CLI: A separate UI thread allows controlling the server (checking status, stopping gracefully) in real-time.
  • Configuration: Custom .conf file parser for flexible server settings.
  • Logging: Thread-safe logging system (Console & File) with timestamps.
  • Dockerized: Ready for deployment using Docker and Docker Compose (Multistage build).
  • Tested: Unit tests implemented with Google Test.

🛠️ Tech Stack

  • Language: C++17
  • Build System: CMake (3.15+)
  • Containerization: Docker
  • Testing: Google Test (GTest)
  • Networking: POSIX Sockets (sys/socket.h)
