Thread spawning should only become a problem for very high concurrent client counts (ie, large N). How many concurrent clients did this program have? When I ran benchmarks to compare a thread-per-client model to a single-threaded, event-bas

make_* functions are no longer necessary in C++17 which adds "Class template argument deduction" [1]. You can now do std::pair p{"aaa", 123}; and Finally guard{[]{cleanup();}}; without specifying template a
