I Built and Deployed a Production Web Backend in Raw C++20
The article details the author's experience building a production web backend using raw C++20 without any frameworks or external libraries. The project aimed to deepen understanding of infrastructure at a low level, resulting in a lightweight and efficient server. The author shares insights into the development process, challenges faced, and the eventual deployment of the server.
- ▪The backend was built using raw C++20, focusing on low-level socket programming.
- ▪The server was designed to compile on both Windows and Linux with no changes to the codebase.
- ▪The author encountered a deployment issue when enabling a firewall before allowing SSH access, leading to a complete lockout.

Building a production web server in raw C++20. No frameworks. No external libraries. Zero dependencies beyond the OS itself. Not because I had to. Because I wanted to understand infrastructure at the lowest level possible.
