Review silicon (Web Server)
Stars: 1138
Open issues: 4
Is made in C++, more complex syntax than crow but very modern and easy to understand and define sintax. Is cross-platform with a dependency on libmicrohttpd. It is deployed by its own script from and a repository clone.

Current selection will be crow for simplicity and moderns of the code, after a few code test seems stable and it the easiest to extend, the only issue currently from my point of view is the BSD license, due this the code will be abstracted so only the server layer needs to be replaced if this becomes a showstopper.
