database-example

Showing how I can use C as a backend to query and edit a database and maybe build a web frontend for it.

Current Features

• It can accept, parse and respond with a http CORS header then aceept the next message
• Makes contact with a Postgresq database and successfully sends SQL

In Progress

• Multiple simultaneous connections with multithreading

Planned

• More HTTP parsing, content delivery, real data processing
• Load balancing connection with nginx
• Integration with interesting systems or technology like ChatGPT

Building

• git submodule update
• cd Backend
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release/Debug ..
• cmake --build .

Usage

run ./database-example and it will listen by default on TCP port 1619 for incoming connections. The included frontend application has an example request that doesn't do anything yet except elicit an appropriate CORS response
