# rac
🚀 High-Performance REST API in C
> **Bye Golang, Ciao Rust, Thank you AI, Welcome back C!**
A REST API built entirely in C with: async I/O, connection pooling, and thread-based request handling.
## ✨ Features
- ⚡ **Asynchronous I/O** - Built on libuv event loop for maximum performance
- 📊 **PostgreSQL Pool** - Thread-safe connection pooling
- 🧵 **Thread Pool** - Multi-threaded request processing
- 🔄 **HTTP Parser** - Modern llhttp parser for efficient request handling
- 📦 **JSON Support** - Request/response serialization with cJSON
## 📋 Prerequisites
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y \
libuv1-dev \
libllhttp-dev \
libpq-dev \
build-essential
```
## Environment
```bash
UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=4
LOG_LEVEL=1
DB_POOL_SIZE=4
DB_CONNINFO="host=postgres dbname=mydb user=mydb password=p@ssw0rd"
HTTP_PORT=8080
HTTP_BACKLOG=128
```
