I don't see your point. Adding custom build steps is a basic feature that's supported by pretty much every single popular build system for decades now, just like adding your own dependencies. Heck, cmake even allows users to confi

IMHO returning status 400 is only reasonable if the request itself is malformed. A request to check whether a CC is valid does not become malformed depending on whether the CC is valid or not.

The decision to go with a headers-only design is only required if you want/need to provide templates. Furthermore, it's ignorant to conflate headers-only libraries with a problem or a shortcoming.

Smart pointers are strangely absent from this comment, which is rather weird as handling raw pointers ceased to make sense and became a pungent code smell with the inception of C++11.

Comparatively, service-per-vm approaches are very wasteful and ineficcient, moreso if a container orchestration system is used to manage the deployment. It makes no sense to fine-tune VMs just to match the resource requirements of a single

But claiming that "X software is written in Y language/framework" says nothing about efficiency or safety. It's just meaningless marketting piggy-backing on popular buzzwords. And claims about "the future" are
