Important question: Why would anyone develop a web application in C? Typically web applications lean heavily on garbage collection and memory safety, because their bottlenecks are very rarely CPU/memory issues. The ROI on manually managing memory just isn't there for a typical web application.

Lightweight web frameworks are great for embedded applications.

Take a few minutes to read through the use case.

This isn't something that I would use for an embedded application. The fact that it allows uploading a compiled binary implies that it's for developing a web application in C, as opposed to merely adding a web endpoint to an embedded application.
