“#include ＜os＞: from bootloader to REST API with the new C++"
summary
IncludeOS compiles a modern C++11/14 service into a minimal bootable VM image (about 1 MB image) that runs on Linux, Windows or Mac and boots in roughly 300 ms boot; the project implements drivers and a full network stack (Ethernet, ARP, IP, UDP, TCP) with no blocking POSIX calls and an event loop that is single-threaded by default. A web server framework, Acorn REST framework, is built on top, shows live stack sampling and metrics, and benchmarks ~11% faster than Apache and ~79% faster than Node for simple workloads; deploys to OpenStack.
